1965 Map of Norfolk North

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Hampton Roads serves as the focal point of this mid-century coastal survey, illustrating the critical intersection of military infrastructure and urban expansion in Virginia. The northern reach of Norfolk is dominated by the Naval Air Station and the sprawling Naval Base at Sewells Point, reflecting the region's immense strategic importance. To the east, the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel spans the water toward Fort Wool, while residential development fills the gaps between industrial and military zones. Neighborhoods like Lochhaven, Larchmont, and Colonial Place front the winding Lafayette River, showing the post-war suburban density. Further south, the Norfolk and Western rail lines terminate at the massive Lamberts Point Terminal, a testament to the coal and shipping economy that defined the Elizabeth River waterfront during this era.
