1964 Map of Newport News South

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Industrial and maritime activity dominates the waterfront of Newport News as the mid-1960s transition into the late 1980s. The shoreline is defined by massive infrastructure, including shipways, drydocks, and the extensive Chesapeake and Ohio rail yards that feed into the Newport News Channel. This map captures a period of significant urban change, highlighting educational and civic expansions such as the Tidewater Community College at Pig Point and the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind. Across the water, the landscape shifts toward the smaller coastal communities of Eclipse and Crittenden along the Nansemond River. Notable landmarks include Greenlawn Cemetery and several combined school and church sites like St Vincent Sch & Ch, reflecting the dense social fabric of the era.
