About this map

Western Branch Elizabeth River and the Nansemond River define the watery landscape of this Virginia coastal region, where established suburban developments meet historic neck lands. The area is characterized by numerous small inlets and branches, such as Knotts Creek and Quaker Neck Creek, which weave through neighborhoods like Pughsville, Boone, and Belleville. The settlement pattern reflects the mid-to-late 20th-century expansion of Tidewater communities, with named subdivisions like Wynnewood and Pride Homes filling the spaces between the arterial routes of Portsmouth Blvd and W Military Hwy.
