1965 Map of Mulberry Island

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Fort Eustis Military Reservation and the sprawling residential developments of Newport News City dominate this coastal landscape at the confluence of the James River and Warwick River. The 1960s suburban expansion is evident in neighborhoods like Beverly Hills, Hidenwood, and Merry Point Estates, while older agricultural and community roots are preserved at the Prison Farm and Denbigh Ch. Significant marshlands and tidal flats define the western shoreline, notably around Mulberry Island and the complex of channels including Jail Creek and the Thorofare. On the southern shore of the James, the Isle of Wight coastline remains less developed, marked by Mogarts Beach and the mouth of the Pagan River. Notable landmarks such as Patrick Henry Airport and the Warwick Yacht Club illustrate the region's mid-century role as a center for aviation and maritime leisure.
