About this map

Chesapeake Bay dominates the northern reaches of this coastal survey, where the established residential neighborhoods of Ocean View and East Ocean View meet the water. The landscape is defined by the complex aquatic network of Little Creek, including Little Creek Harbor, Little Creek Channel, and numerous inlets like Desert Cove and Fishermans Cove. This area serves as a primary hub for regional connectivity and recreation, anchored by the Norfolk International Airport and the expansive Norfolk Botanical Garden.

Evidence of mid-century suburban expansion is visible in the dense grid of neighborhoods such as Larrymore Acres, Roosevelt Gardens, and Cherokee Heights. Beyond the residential blocks, the map identifies significant open spaces and water bodies, including Lake Wright, Lake Smith, and Lake Pleasure House. Large-scale amenities such as the Eagle Haven Golf Course and Lake Wright Golf Course indicate the area's development into a major metropolitan corridor with a focus on leisure and transportation infrastructure.
