About this map

Fort Monroe and its namesake National Monument anchor the southern tip of this coastal survey at Old Point Comfort, overlooking the mouth of the Hampton River and the Chesapeake Bay. The map documents a densely developed maritime and military landscape, featuring the sprawling operations of Joint Base Langley-Eustis and Langley Air Force Base in the west. These military installations are framed by numerous residential developments like Sherwood Park, Sinclair Farms, and Buckroe Gardens, reflecting the region's mid-century and modern growth patterns.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of local resting places, including Hampton Va National Cem, Oakland Cem, and Elmerton Cem. In the north, the landscape shifts toward the preserved marshes of Plum Tree Island National Wildlife Refuge, while the eastern shore is defined by the historic waterfront at Buckroe Beach and Grand View. The area's administrative heart is visible at the Hampton City Courthouse, situated near Hampton University.
