1994 Map of Norge

About this map

The Green Spring Ruins and the southern edge of the Colonial National Historical Park anchor this map of James City County, reflecting a landscape steeped in the colonial history of the Virginia Peninsula. The area is defined by the transition from the upland woods and ridges of Norge and Centerville to the extensive tidal marshlands and creeks of the Chickahominy River. To the north, the Little Creek Reservoir dominates the drainage patterns, while to the south, Powhatan Creek winds through a mosaic of residential developments and historic sites like Jamestown Farms. This survey captures the region as it navigated modernization during the late twentieth century, showing the balance between preserved historic sites and expanding educational and recreational hubs such as Lafayette High Sch, the Peninsula Scout Reservation, and the Golf Course.
