1955 Map of Newport News
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Newport News and the surrounding Tidewater landscape appear in mid-century detail, centered on the strategic confluence of the James River and Hampton Roads. The urban grid of the port city is densely packed with educational and civic institutions, including the Virginia School For Deaf and Blind, Mary Immaculate Hospital, and several segregated-era schools such as Huntington High Sch and the 16th Dunbar Sch. The waterfront is dominated by the massive rail terminals of the Chesapeake & Ohio Ry at Newport News Point, highlighting the city's role as a primary shipping hub.
