1965 Map of Hampton

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The historic harbor of Hampton Roads and the strategic peninsula of Old Point Comfort anchor this coastal Virginia survey. The landscape is defined by its deep military roots, featuring the detailed layout of Fort Monroe and the sprawling runways of Langley Air Force Base. Education and community growth are evident in the presence of Hampton Institute and numerous mid-century neighborhoods such as Riverdale, Sinclair Farms, and Buckroe Gardens. Along the Chesapeake Bay, the resort character of Buckroe Beach is visible near the Salt Ponds. To the north, the terrain transitions into the tidal marshes of the Plum Tree Island Bombing Range and the Big Salt Marsh, illustrating the area's dual identity as a naval-industrial hub and an ecologically complex coastal environment. Small maritime landmarks like Amorys Wharf and a Lighthouse (Aban'd) at Grand View hint at older Chesapeake traditions.
