1965 Map of Poquoson West

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Colonial National Historical Park anchors the northwestern corner of this mid-1960s coastal survey, preserving the ground of the Battle Trenches and the Moore House where the York River meets the peninsula. The landscape is a mix of strategic military installations and emerging suburban residential developments. To the east, the U S Naval Supply Center and a large Tank Farm occupy Goodwin Neck, while the interior shows the growth of communities like Grafton, Seaford, and Tabb. Infrastructure for the region is evident in the presence of the Harwoods Mill Reservoir and its Filtration Plant, which serviced the growing populations of York County and nearby Newport News. The coastal character is defined by intricate marshes and points such as York Point and the Goodwin Islands, with the Tue Marshes Lighthouse marking the passage between the river and the Chesapeake Bay.
