1965 Map of Hampton

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Hampton Roads and the Chesapeake Bay define the geography of this mid-1960s coastal survey, where the historic fortifications of Fort Monroe and Old Point Comfort anchor the southern tip of the peninsula. The map reveals a landscape heavily shaped by military and aerospace presence, dominated by Langley Air Force Base and the Plum Tree Island Bombing Range. Between these installations, rapid mid-century suburban expansion is evident in the dense residential plattings of Sinclair Farms, Riverdale, and Buckroe Gardens. Along the eastern shore, recreational and maritime life centers on Buckroe Beach and the Salt Ponds. The map also documents the critical transportation infrastructure of the era, including the Hampton Tunnel (Toll) Bridge and the Chesapeake and Ohio rail lines, alongside educational landmarks like the Hampton Institute and Kecoughtan High Sch.
