About this map

Hampton and its surrounding peninsula communities are depicted during the height of the Second World War, showing a landscape defined by significant military and institutional footprints. The massive installations of Langley Field and the U.S. Military Reservation at Fort Monroe dominate the shoreline, while the National Soldiers Home and National Cem highlight the area's long-standing connection to veteran care and service. The map records the intricate waterways of the Back River and Hampton River, which shaped local commerce at Amorys Wharf and Back Landing.
