1954 Map of Pleasant Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Princess Anne serves as the focal point of this coastal Virginia landscape, where the rural character of the region meets the strategic waterways of the Tidewater. The North Landing River and the Intracoastal Waterway dominate the central drainage, connecting the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal to the marshy reaches of Back Bay. The mapping reflects a transition in land use, showing the U S Naval Res (Fentress Landing Field) and the Pungo Field (Abandoned) alongside established community landmarks. Local life is anchored by family-named sites and small gathering places like Camels Chapel, Land of Promise, and Dawley Corners. The network of small schools and churches, including Pleasant Ridge Sch and Charity Ch, illustrates the distributed nature of these agrarian and maritime settlements before mid-century suburbanization began to alter the Virginia Beach and Chesapeake borderlands.
