1954 Map of Pleasant Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The North Landing River and its accompanying Intracoastal Waterway anchor this coastal Virginia landscape, where wetlands like Gum Swamp meet small agricultural and crossroads communities. The settlement pattern is defined by traditional centers such as Princess Anne and Pungo, while smaller landings like West Landing and Bonney Landing reflect the historical reliance on these tidal arteries. Local social life is evidenced by a high density of rural institutions, including Camels Chapel, Beech Grove Ch, and Courthouse Sch. This survey also reveals the military footprint of the era, specifically the U S Naval Res (Fentress Landing Field). To the south, the terrain transitions into the waters of Back Bay and the drainage of Nawney Creek, illustrating the delicate balance between the land and the vast swampy reaches of the Atlantic coast.
