About this map

Oceana Naval Air Station dominates the central landscape of this Virginia Beach coastal region, illustrating the deep integration of military and civilian geography in the Tidewater area. The map reveals an intricate network of waterways, where the Eastern Branch Lynnhaven River and Western Branch Lynnhaven River create complex peninsulas like Hog Pen Neck and Wolfsnare Point.

Suburban development is layered over earlier agricultural and maritime patterns, evidenced by landmarks like the Wolfsnare Plantation and the historic crossing at Old London Bridge. For those tracing local history, the map includes several burial grounds, from the large Colonial Grove Memorial Park to the smaller Nimmo Cemetery. The southern portion of the sheet transitions toward the North Landing River, documenting the proximity of established neighborhoods to the marshes and woods that characterize the Princess Anne vicinity.
