About this map

Fort Story stands at the strategic entrance of the Chesapeake Bay, marking the point where the bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. This mid-century view shows a coastal landscape defined by shifting sands and intricate waterways, from the densely forested area of The Desert within Seashore State Park to the branching coves of Broad Bay and Lynnhaven Bay. Local infrastructure is anchored by the John A. Lesner Bridge and the Weather Bureau Signal Mast at Cape Henry, reflecting the area's importance to navigation and military defense.
