1918 Map of Cape Henry

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Cape Henry stands at the pivot point between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, anchoring a landscape defined by tidal inlets and early coastal infrastructure. Surveyed just after the Great War, the map reveals a network of waterways including the Lynnhaven Inlet and Broad Bay that shaped the region's early development. Small communities like Oceana, Seatack, and London Bridge are established along the rail lines, while the rugged interior of The Desert remains largely undeveloped.
