The Virginia Peninsula’s complex maritime geography is meticulously recorded in this early 20th-century survey, just as aviation and electrical transit began to reshape the region. Fort Monroe and its neighboring National Soldiers Home anchor the southern tip of the peninsula at Old Point Comfort, while the emerging military presence of Langley Field sits positioned between the branches of the Back River. This coastal landscape is a network of wharves and small water-oriented settlements like Messick and Odd, reflecting an era when transportation relied heavily on the intricate inlets of the Poquoson River and York River.
