1919 Map of Cape Henry

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Cape Henry stands as the sentinel of the Virginia coast in this survey conducted just after the First World War. The landscape is a complex network of coastal inlets and inland waterways, where Lynnhaven Bay and Broad Bay cut deep into the peninsula, separating Little Neck from the prominent coastal dunes of The Desert. The inland areas reflect a rural economy transitioning toward coastal development, anchored by established communities like Kempsville and the growing resort destination of Virginia Beach.
