1983 Map of Poquoson West

About this map

Colonial National Historical Park preserves the Revolutionary War legacy at the edge of the York River, showing the locations of historic defenses such as Redoubt 10 and Battle Trenches. The landscape of the 1980s reveals a juxtaposition of preserved history and modern industrial development, anchored by the massive Yorktown Refinery and the U S Naval Supply Center. Residential growth is evident in communities like Seaford Shores and Lakeside Homes, which sit adjacent to older landmarks like Crooks Mem Ch and St Lukes Ch. The southern reaches are defined by the Harwoods Mill Reservoir and the perimeter of the Patrick Henry International Airport, while the coast is dotted with features like the Tue Marshes Lighthouse and numerous points and necks reaching into the Chesapeake Bay.
