1964 Map of Newport News South

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The industrial waterfront of Newport News and the maritime communities of the Tidewater region are documented in this mid-1960s survey, with later revisions showing the growth of Portsmouth and Hampton. The northern shore is dominated by heavy industry and transit, featuring the massive Shipways and Drydocks alongside the C & O RR yards. Inland, the map records established neighborhoods anchored by institutions like the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind and Huntington High Sch. To the south, across the confluence of the James River and the Nansemond River, the character shifts to smaller settlements such as Eclipse and Crittenden, where the landscape is defined by tidal creeks and points like Pig Point. This transition from the urban shipyard core to the rural neck of Knotts Neck illustrates the post-war expansion of the Hampton Roads area.
