In 1957, the National Park Service requested the aid of the U. S. Geological Survey to determine if an adequate ground-water supply could be obtained at previously selected sites within the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area. As the first phase of compliance with this request a report entitled "Ground-Water Supply of Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area" by P. M. Brown, Ground Water Branch, U. S. Geological Survey, was prepared and transmitted to the National Park Service in 1958. The current report presents an evaluation of available ground-water supplies at additional sites for which information was requested by the National Park Service in 1957. These sites are Fort Raleigh National Historical Site, Oregon Inlet Campground, Pea Island Campground, Chicamacomico Station, Little Kinnakeet Station, the Cape Point Area, the Hatteras Inlet proposed campground site, the Ocracoke Island proposed campground site, and the Ocracoke Docks Campground. Field work for the investigation, accomplished during the first three months of 1959, consisted of a test-drilling program to determine the depth to salt water and the areal extent, physical characteristics, and water-bearing properties of the unconsolidated sediments underlying the test sites.
