1965 Map of Poquoson West

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Colonial National Historical Park anchors the northwestern corner of this coastal landscape, preserving the geography of the Siege of Yorktown with visible Battle Trenches and the historic Moore House near the York River. By the mid-1960s, the surrounding York County peninsula shows a transition from rural crossroads like Tabb and Dare to expanding residential developments such as Holly Hills and Seaford Shores. The maritime economy and strategic military footprint are evident through the U S Naval Supply Center, the U S Coast Guard Reserve Training Center, and a sprawling industrial Tank Farm on Goodwin Neck. Intricate tidal waterways including Chisman Creek and the Poquoson River define the local topography, while the Aqueduct and Harwoods Mill Reservoir highlight the regional infrastructure supporting the growing population near Patrick Henry Airport.
