1964 Map of Cape Henry

About this map

Cape Henry serves as the sentinel of the Chesapeake Bay, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the historic Lynnhaven Roads. This mid-century survey captures a landscape of maritime transition and rapid suburban development. Coastal infrastructure is dominated by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, including North Thimble Island and South Thimble Island, while the ancient navigational landmarks of Old Cape Henry LH and the newer Cape Henry LH stand near the Cape Henry Memorial Mon.
