About this map

Chesapeake Bay and the intricate coastal inlets of the Virginia shoreline dominate this 2011 survey of the Little Creek area. The landscape is a dense assembly of mid-century and modern residential developments, including Ocean View, Larrymore Acres, and Colonial Heights. These neighborhoods are interwoven with significant water bodies such as Lake Whitehurst and the Little Creek Reservoir, which reflect the region's managed coastal geography.

Strategic transportation and leisure hubs define the southern half of the map, anchored by the Norfolk International Airport and the sprawling Norfolk Botanical Garden. Cultural and educational landmarks like Johnson and Wales University Norfolk and the Norfolk Municipal Azalea Gardens sit alongside recreational sites like the Eagle Haven Golf Course. The map captures the complex interface between the urban growth of Norfolk and Virginia Beach and the essential maritime access provided by the Little Creek Channel.
