About this map

Sewells Point Spit and the industrial waterfront of the Elizabeth River define the maritime character of this region during the early 21st century. The map documents the extensive military and commercial infrastructure of the Norfolk International Terminals and the Sewells Point Docks, including numerous named piers that facilitate global trade. Across the Entrance Reach, the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel provides a vital link to Hampton, bypassing the historic Old Point Ferry route.

Inland, the residential landscape is meticulously detailed, from the campuses of Old Dominion University to established neighborhoods like Larchmont and Lochhaven. The area is characterized by numerous small inlets and waterways, such as Knitting Mill Creek and Lafayette River, which wind through suburban developments like Virginia Gardens and Talbot Park. Several significant burial grounds, including Forest Lawn Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery, provide important touchpoints for local genealogy and history.
