1954 Map of Pleasant Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Princess Anne serves as a focal point at the northern edge of this coastal landscape, where the North Landing River winds through a vast expanse of Gum Swamp. The mid-1950s geography is defined by the intersection of traditional agricultural life and vital maritime transit, with the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal and the Intracoastal Waterway facilitating movement through the wetlands. Smaller settlements like Pungo, Pleasant Ridge, and the evocatively named Land of Promise are connected by a network of rural roads, each anchored by local landmarks such as Courthouse Sch and Pleasant Ridge Ch. The presence of the U S Naval Res (Fentress Landing Field) and the Pungo Field (Abandoned) reflects the military and aviation footprints in the region during the post-war era.
