1954 Map of Fentress

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal Intracoastal Waterway cuts a distinct horizontal path across this landscape, anchored by the Great Bridge Lock and the settlement of Great Bridge. This mid-century survey captures a transition in Southside Virginia, where traditional agricultural communities like Fentress and Hickory Ground are increasingly punctuated by suburban expansion and military infrastructure. The presence of the U S Naval Reservation (Fentress Landing Field) signifies the era's strategic importance, while the Norfolk Southern tracks maintain the region's long-standing rail connection.
