1965 Map of Norfolk South

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Elizabeth River dominates this mid-century landscape, serving as the central artery for a massive industrial and military complex during the height of the Cold War. Extensive military installations such as the U S Naval Shipyard and the U S Naval Ammunition Depot occupy significant acreage along the waterfront, while the Lamberts Point Terminal and various dunnage yards underscore the era's shipping dominance. The map captures the dense urban expansion into neighborhoods like Cavalier Manor, Cradock, and Highland-Biltmore, punctuated by numerous educational and religious sites including the Frederick Military Academy and Evergreen Mem Park. Significant transportation infrastructure, from the Norfolk and Western rail lines to the Jordan Bridge, illustrates a region deeply integrated by rail, water, and road as it moved toward the turn of the century.
