1948 Map of Norfolk South

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Portsmouth and South Norfolk dominate this post-war urban landscape, where the Elizabeth River and its various branches create a complex network of industrial waterfronts and naval installations. Large tracts of the Us Naval Reservation and the US Naval Hospital at Hospital Point highlight the significant military presence that shaped the region's development during the 1940s. The map illustrates dense residential patterns in neighborhoods like Highland Park, Alexander Park, and Port Norfolk, contrasted with the southern reaches where the terrain transitions into the Dismal Swamp and the Deep Creek area.
