1953 Map of Norfolk

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The vast wetlands of the Dismal Swamp dominate the borderlands between Virginia and North Carolina in this mid-century survey. Centered on Lake Drummond, this wilderness is flanked by the growing urban centers of Norfolk and Portsmouth to the north and Elizabeth City to the south. The landscape is defined by its waterborne geography, where the James River and Chesapeake Bay meet at Lynnhaven Roads.
