1965 Map of Poquoson West

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Colonial National Historical Park occupies the western edge of this coastal survey, where Battle Trenches and the Moore House sit near the mouth of the York River. This area of the Virginia Peninsula showcases a landscape shaped by military presence and maritime industry during the mid-1960s, with a massive Tank Farm on Goodwin Neck and the U S Naval Supply Center dominating the northern shoreline. Inland, the transition from rural crossroads like Hornsbyville and Grafton to modern residential developments is evident in the appearing subdivisions of Holly Hills and Piney Point Estates. Along the intricate shoreline of Chesapeake Bay, the map traces the complex network of necks and coves, from Fish Neck to Pasture Neck, where small settlements like Seaford and Dandy are established among the tidal marshes.
