About this map

Norfolk and Virginia Beach meet along a densely developed coastal corridor where residential neighborhoods and strategic infrastructure dominate the landscape. The northern edge is defined by the shoreline and the massive Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, which links the region across the water. Inland, the map reveals a complex network of suburban developments including Roosevelt Gardens, Ocean View, and Norview, illustrating the post-war growth patterns of the Hampton Roads area.

Water remains a central theme, from the working waterfronts of Little Creek and Fishermans Cove to the protected waters of Little Creek Reservoir and Lake Smith. The presence of the Norfolk International Airport and Centura College Norfolk Campus highlights the transition from traditional maritime activity to modern aviation and educational hubs. This survey provides a precise look at how the tidewater landscape has been engineered to accommodate both civil aviation and large-scale residential living.
