2022 Map of Fentress

About this map

The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through this landscape where the independent cities of Virginia Beach and Chesapeake meet. Centered on the community of Fentress, the map reveals a transition from the dense residential developments of Great Bridge and Oak Grove in the northwest to the agricultural and wetland expanses of the south and east. Significant historical sites are documented here, including the Cuffeytown Historic Cem and the isolated Lindsay Sivills Grave. The maritime and military character of the region is evident in the presence of the Southern Branch Elizabeth River and the Fentress Naval Auxiliary Field, while the southern reaches remain defined by rural corridors along Land of Promise Rd and the edges of Gum Swamp. This survey provides a precise look at the suburban expansion and preserved rural pockets of the Hampton Roads area.
