About this map

Hampton Roads serves as the focal point for this post-war naval and military landscape, where the Elizabeth River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The map documents a period of significant military presence, dominated by the US Naval Reservation and US Army Base, alongside the burgeoning residential neighborhoods of Titustown, Colonial Heights, and Winona. The intricate shoreline of Willoughby Bay and Tanners Creek shows a complex network of docks and maritime infrastructure, including the Willoughby Spit Ferry Lt and various anchorage lights.
