Few parts of the Confederacy's coast were as exposed as the sounds behind North Carolina's barrier islands, and this map shows the terrain Union forces had to navigate in 1861 and 1862. Ambrose Burnside led an amphibious force through shallow inlets and sounds, taking Hatteras Inlet, Roanoke Island, and New Bern. The campaign gave the Union a foothold on the state's coast for the rest of the war, and the map shows why shallow water and narrow channels shaped every move.
