1965 Map of Norfolk South

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Elizabeth River serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of a bustling Tidewater landscape. This 1965 survey, updated with 1980 urban data, captures the immense scale of military and maritime infrastructure, dominated by the U S Naval Shipyard, the U S Naval Hospital, and the U S Naval Ammunition Depot. The map documents a complex transport network during a period of significant growth, showing the Midtown Tunnel and Jordan Bridge connecting Portsmouth to the surrounding cities of Norfolk and Chesapeake. Notable residential developments like Cavalier Manor and Shea Terrace reflect the post-war suburban expansion. Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial grounds, including the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery and Roosevelt Mem Park, alongside the small South Norfolk Airport and various industrial features like the Industrial Waste Ponds along the southern creek branches.
