1921 Map of Newport News

USGS Topo · Published 1928

About this map

Military and maritime infrastructure dominates the landscape of Hampton Roads in this early post-war period. The massive Ship Yard at Newport News and the Navy Yard in Portsmouth anchor the regional economy, while the sprawling Navy Base at Sewall Point and the Army Base to its south reflect the rapid expansion of naval operations. The map provides a detailed view of the complex rail networks serving these hubs, including the Chesapeake and Ohio RR and Virginian RR, which converge on the waterfront piers.
