2022 Map of North Virginia Beach

About this map

North Virginia Beach occupies the narrow coastal strip where the mid-Atlantic coastline meets the open sea. This 2022 survey documents the residential and educational layout of the area, featuring the campus of Atlantic University situated just inland from the shoreline. The landforms here are characterized by a distinct sandy environment known as The Desert, which sits adjacent to the developed beachfront. Beyond the breakers, the map details the maritime significance of the Atlantic Ocean, including the vital shipping corridor of the Cape Henry Channel. This map serves as a contemporary record of the shifting sands and coastal infrastructure in one of Virginia's most prominent seaside communities, illustrating the balance between natural coastal features and modern land use.
