1964 Map of Little Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The U S Naval Reservation Little Creek Amphibious Base anchors the shoreline of this coastal survey, where the dense suburban expansion of Norfolk City meets the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Military and municipal infrastructure dominate the landscape, from the sprawling runways of the Norfolk International Airport to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel reaching northward across the Thimble Shoal Channel. The residential character of the mid-century era is evident in named neighborhoods like Ocean View, Larrymore Acres, and Norvella Heights, while the natural topography is defined by a series of interconnected water bodies including Lake Whitehurst Reservoir and the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of neighborhood schools like Bay View Sch and Sherwood Forest Sch, along with the Rosemont Cem, situated before the further industrialization of the Norfolk Southern rail corridors.
