About this map

Virginia Beach and the barrier island communities of the Outer Banks anchor this mid-century topographic survey, showing a landscape defined by expansive coastal waters. The map details the intricate geography of Currituck Sound and Back Bay, where isolated settlements like Corolla and Knotts Island relied on the water for connectivity. Military presence is prominent along the northern coast, featuring the Fort Story Military Reservation and the U.S. Naval Amphibious Base near Cape Henry.
