2011 Map of Pleasant Ridge

About this map

Princess Anne and the surrounding hamlets of south Virginia Beach define this coastal plain landscape where the North Landing River serves as a primary geographical axis. The map documents the low-lying terrain interlaced with water bodies like the Pocaty River and West Neck Creek, which connect several small landings and crossroads settlements. These established community centers, including Pungo and Dawley Corners, are linked by long-standing transit corridors such as Princess Anne Rd and Indian River Rd. In the southeastern portion of the map, the Back Bay Station Virginia Beach Post Office and the Charity Cemetery serve as landmarks for genealogists and local historians. The density of named creeks and marshes, including Beggers Bridge Creek and Nauney Creek, illustrates the hydraulic complexity of this region near the North Carolina border.
