Offers superb coastal detail of the North Carolina mainland as well as Smith’s Island and Federal Point. From a nautical perspective the map offers a wealth of depths soundings and sailing instructions, as well as information on shoals, light houses, and tides. The triangulation for this chart was calculated by C. P. Bolles. The Hydrography was accomplished J. N. Maffitt. Prepared under the supervision of A. D. Bache for the 1853 Report of the Superintendant of the U.S. Coast Survey .
