1964 Map of Newport News South

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Shipways and drydocks line the eastern shore of the James River, marking the industrial heart of Newport News during this mid-century period. This survey illustrates the dense urban expansion toward Hampton and south into Suffolk, characterized by a concentration of educational institutions including Booker T Washington Sch and the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind. Across the waters of Hampton Roads, the rural-industrial interface is evident in the smaller settlements of Eclipse and Crittenden, which contrast with the growing footprint of the US Naval Supply Center. Maritime features such as the Newport News Channel and Newport News Middle Ground define the nautical landscape of the harbor. Significant for genealogists, the map identifies numerous local burying grounds including Greenlawn Cemetery and Pleasant Shade Cem.
