Outer Banks, North Carolina: OBX
Discover North Carolina's Outer Banks with our original, hand-drawn story map and gifts by Xplorer Maps Co-Founder, Chris Robitaille.
The OBX is a 200-mile string of barrier islands, home to beautiful beaches, historic lighthouses, and vibrant history. First inhabited by the Croatan, Roanoke, and Lumbee tribes for over 1,000 years, OBX is also where English settlers established the ill-fated Roanoke Colony in 1587—now known as 'The Lost Colony.'
Explore the rich maritime heritage at the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum, visit iconic lighthouses, or spot wild horses on Corolla Beach, all beautifully depicted on this map.
