1948 Map of Ocean View

About this map

Ocean View and the surrounding coastal developments sit at a critical junction of military and civilian life in the late 1940s. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the U.S. Navy, with the Amphibious Training Base, Little Creek Mine Base, and Camp Bradford occupying significant stretches of the shoreline along Chesapeake Bay. Inland, the area shows a transition from dense residential neighborhoods like Norview and Eastbrook toward the more rural reaches of Kempsville.
