About this map

Lamberts Point Terminal and the Portsmouth Marine Terminal anchor the industrial waterfront of the Elizabeth River, illustrating the intensive maritime infrastructure of Hampton Roads in the early 21st century. This survey documents the complex urban geography of Portsmouth, Norfolk, and Chesapeake, where shipping channels like the Town Point Reach and the Southern Branch Elizabeth River separate dense residential neighborhoods.

Genealogists and local historians can find dozens of burial grounds preserved amidst the urban sprawl, including Lincoln Memorial Cemetery, Oak Grove Cemetery, and the Hebrew Cemetery. The map also captures the transport network of the era, from the Norfolk Southern Terminal Dr to the Midtown Tunnel, alongside prominent educational and medical institutions such as Norfolk State University and the Old Dominion University College of Health Sciences.
