About this map

Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Chesapeake converge on this 2011 survey, illustrating a dense suburban landscape shaped by the tidal reaches of the Eastern Branch Elizabeth River and the Indian River. The map reveals a complex network of established residential neighborhoods and commercial developments, such as Military Circle Mall, alongside significant institutions like Regent University and the Strayer University Virginia Beach Campus.

Tracing the waterways provides insight into the region's managed hydrology, from the Lake Taylor Dam in the north to the Stumpy Lake Dam in the south. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several large memorial sites, including Woodlawn Memorial Gardens and Rosewood Memorial Park, while more industrial or institutional land uses are represented by Landfill Number 2 and the State Prison Farm Number 22. This document provides a clear look at the intersection of municipal boundaries and tidal inlets in the modern Hampton Roads area.
