About this map

Oceana Naval Air Station (Apollo Soucek Field) occupies a central position on this coastal Virginia landscape, surrounded by an intricate network of residential subdivisions and historical crossroads. The map illustrates the suburban evolution of Virginia Beach, where established communities like London Bridge and Princess Anne are interwoven with modern landmarks such as Mt Trashmore. The geography is defined by the branching waterways of the Western Branch and Eastern Branch Lynnhaven River, creating numerous necks and points including Witch Duck Point and Trants Point.

Genealogical and local history interest is found in the scattered legacy points such as Old Donation Church, Wolfsnare Plantation, and numerous named corners like Shipps Corner and Dam Neck Corner. The transition from the dense residential developments of Little Haven and Thalia to the more open lands near Nimmo and Hills Corner provides a detailed look at the region's land use as it transitioned into the early 21st century.
