1965 Map of Hog Island

About this map

Hog Island and the broad expanse of the James River dominate this mid-century topographic record of the Virginia Peninsula. The landscape reflects a intersection of early American colonial history and Cold War military presence, with the Colonial National Historical Parkway winding near the Carters Grove Historical Home and the historic Jamestown Island. Across the river, the Hog Island State Waterfowl Refuge sits on the marshy reaches of Gravel Neck, while substantial military installations like Camp Wallace Military Res and the U S Naval Weapons Station occupy the northern shore.
