About this map

Hampton Roads and its surrounding tidewater communities are depicted here just after the first World War, showcasing a landscape heavily defined by military and maritime infrastructure. The intersection of the James River, Elizabeth River, and Nansemond River creates a complex network of waterways that served as the lifeline for Newport News, Norfolk, and Portsmouth. Significant wartime developments are prominent, including Camp Stuart, the Navy Base, and the Pig Point Ordnance Depot.
