About this map

North Virginia Beach occupies a narrow coastal strip on this 2013 survey, where the terrestrial landscape meets the expansive Atlantic Ocean. The map's focus is largely maritime, illustrating the critical navigation paths of the Chesapeake Bay Entrance, including the Cape Henry Channel and Chesapeake Channel. These waterways serve as the primary conduits for shipping traffic entering the regional harbors.

On the landward side, the residential and recreational character of the area is evident. The Four H Camp sits near the northern edge of the shoreline, while the street grid includes historically themed names like Susan Constant Dr, Discovery Rd, and Goodspeed Rd, referencing the ships of the original 1607 Jamestown settlement. Small coastal features like Rainey Gut provide detail to the shifting boundary between the beach and the interior marshlands.
