1964 Map of Newport News South

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The maritime gateway of Hampton Roads dominates this mid-century survey, illustrating the critical intersection of the James River and the Nansemond River. The urban core of Newport News is depicted with its complex industrial waterfront, featuring extensive shipways, drydocks, and the terminal infrastructure of the C & O RR. Across the water, the rural character of the Suffolk and Isle of Wight County shorelines contrasts sharply with the industrial north, showing the small communities of Eclipse, Crittenden, and Bleakhorn. Educational and social institutions are prominent throughout the landscape, including the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind, Tidewater Community College, and several neighborhood schools such as Booker T Washington School and Huntington High School. Along the southern banks, the U S Naval Supply Center near Edgefield highlights the region's long-standing military significance.
