About this map

Big Bethel Battlefield stands as a central historical landmark in this region of the Virginia Peninsula, marking a landscape defined by significant military and scientific installations. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling Langley Air Force Base and the adjacent Langley Research And Development Park, which sit near the tidal waters of Tabbs Cr. In the west, the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility highlights the area's modern role as a center for high-tech research and physics.

Residential growth is evident through numerous neighborhoods such as Hilton Village, Beaconsdale, and Ivy Farms, woven together by major arteries like Jefferson Ave and Warwick Blvd. The shoreline along the James River features landmarks like White Oak and Warwick on the James, while Brick Kiln Cr and Newmarket Cr drain the low-lying terrain, illustrating the dense suburban development and the preservation of commemorative sites like Big Bethel.
