1964 Map of Little Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Norfolk International Airport and its surrounding mid-century residential expansion dominate this coastal landscape, situated along the border of Norfolk City and Virginia Beach City. The map documents a highly developed suburban and military environment, anchored by the U S Naval Reservation Little Creek Amphibious Base and various installations such as the Harbor Defense Unit. Water shapes the geography, from the Chesapeake Bay shoreline to the interior reservoirs like Lake Whitehurst and Lake Smith. Local genealogy and neighborhood history are preserved in the locations of Rosemont Cemetery, Mt Gilead Church, and a dense network of local schools including Pretty Lake School and Azalea Gardens School. The map also captures the sprawling leisure and civic spaces of the era, such as the Norfolk Municipal Azalea Gardens and the Ocean View Golf Course.
