1964 Map of Cape Henry

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Fort Story Military Reservation anchors the northeastern corner of this coastal survey, where the historic Cape Henry LH and Old Cape Henry LH stand sentinel over the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay. The 1970 revisions, marked in purple, illustrate a period of significant suburban expansion into the maritime forests and wetlands of Great Neck and Little Neck. New developments like Great Neck Estates and Linkhorn Shores appear alongside established landmarks such as the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel and the sprawling Seashore State Park. Within this complex hydraulic landscape, the Lynnhaven River and Broad Bay define the character of the shore, separating the Atlantic-facing resorts of Virginia Beach from the residential neighborhoods and schools like Cox High Sch that were rapidly emerging in the late 1960s.
