1965 Map of Norfolk North

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Sewell Point and the massive Naval Base complex dominate this coastal landscape at the gateway to the Hampton Roads. The map captures the dense urban and military infrastructure of the early 1970s, where the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel connects the peninsula to Willoughby Spit. Residential growth is evident in neighborhoods like Algonquin Park, Larchmont, and Talbot Park, which line the meandering shores of the Lafayette River. Institutional landmarks of regional importance are clearly visible, including Old Dominion College, the U S Public Health Service Hospital, and the historic Norfolk Academy. Further south, the industrial and transport identity of the region is solidified by the Norfolk and Western rail lines serving the Lamberts Point Terminal on the Elizabeth River.
