1965 Map of Clay Bank

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The York River dominates this mid-century landscape, separating the military installations of the Virginia Peninsula from the rural reaches of Gloucester Co. To the south, the US Naval Weapons Station and US Naval Supply Center Cheatham Annex occupy large tracts near Colonial National Historical Park, where the Colonial Parkway winds toward Sandy Point. Across the water, the settlement pattern follows the George Washington Memorial Highway, connecting communities like White Marsh, Ordinary, and Hayes. This transition era shows the development of local infrastructure, from the Gloucester High School to the Drive-in Theater near Wicomico. The map also preserves numerous small parish sites and family landmarks, including Abingdon Ch Cem and the landings at Oliver Landing and Carmines Landing, reflecting the area's deep ties to both the river and its colonial-era foundations.
