1957 Map of Mulberry Island

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Fort Eustis Military Reservation dominates the marshy bend of the James River, where the Warwick River flows through a complex network of tidal flats and points. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape of transition between military installations and established local communities like the Mennonite Colony and Denbigh. Along the shoreline, markers of maritime and agricultural life persist, from Hoopes Landing to the Prison Farm near the river's edge. The presence of the White Shoal Lighthouse (Abandoned) in the Rocklanding Channel signals changing navigational patterns as the area's maritime economy shifted. On the opposite bank in Isle Of Wight Co, the map shows the quiet waterfront of Mogarts Beach, illustrating the stark contrast between the industrializing City Of Newport News and the rural reaches across the water.
