About this map

North Landing River serves as the central artery of this coastal Virginia landscape, winding south through expansive wetlands toward the North Carolina border. The area is defined by its low-lying hydrology, where the Pocaty River and West Neck Creek feed into a network of tidal waters that historically shaped local movement and commerce. Small coastal settlements such as Pungo, Pleasant Ridge, and Dawley Corners are situated along the primary north-south corridor of Princess Anne Rd, marking the higher ground between the swampy interior and the coast.

Agricultural and recreational development is visible in the transition from the wooded corridors of Land of Promise to the modern fairways of the Signature at West Neck Golf Course. The map details the infrastructure supporting this community, from the Virginia Beach Airport and West Neck Marina to the remote boat access at Bonney Landing and West Landing. These features reflect a region balancing its traditional rural character with the residential expansion of the Tidewater region.
