2016 Map of Norfolk South

About this map

The Tidewater region's complex maritime geography is on full display here, where the Elizabeth River and its multiple branches define the urban boundaries of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Chesapeake. This survey details a dense network of neighborhoods such as Ghent, Brambleton, and Shea Terrace, punctuated by numerous historic burial grounds including Elmwood Cem and Calvary Cem. Educational landmarks like Norfolk State Univ and the Eastern Virginia Medical Sch sit amidst a landscape shaped by significant engineering feats, from the Midtown Tunnel to the Berkley Bridge. The map captures the industrial and naval character of the waterfront, tracing the Intracoastal Waterway and the Southern Branch Elizabeth River through areas like Cradock and Port Norfolk. This 2016 record shows the modern infrastructure of a major American port city while preserving the names of historic residential districts and points like Hospital Point and Washington Point.
