1965 Map of Newport News North

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The James River shoreline and the sprawling military installations of the Virginia Peninsula define this 1960s landscape during a period of rapid suburban expansion. Large tracts of land are dedicated to the Langley Air Force Base (Research Center) and various U S Military Reservations, while the Big Bethel Reservoir serves as a central landmark between the growing cities of Newport News and Hampton. The map captures the infrastructure of the era, from the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway corridor to the emerging highway network of Mercury Blvd and the James River Bridge. Local history is preserved in the location of established neighborhoods like Aberdeen Gardens and Hilton Village, alongside numerous institutional sites such as the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind and several cemeteries including the Hebrew Cem and Carys Ch Cem.
