2013 Map of Fentress

About this map

Fentress and Hickory anchor this detailed study of Chesapeake's developing landscape in the early twenty-first century. The map illustrates a transition from established rural districts like Hickory Ground and the Pocaty River wetlands toward expanding residential developments such as Great Bridge Gardens, Albemarle Acres, and Battlewood Meadows. Transportation infrastructure is a central theme, highlighting the intersection of major corridors like Battlefield Blvd N and Centerville Tpke N with the local aviation history represented by Weatherly & Son Airport. The presence of the Atlantic Yacht Basin indicates the area's continued reliance on the coastal waterway system even as suburban growth moves inland toward Butts and Long Ridge. This map is particularly useful for tracking the modern names of neighborhoods and roads that sit atop much older family landholdings like Enohla Farms and Albemarle Farms.
