1955 Map of Princess Anne

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Princess Anne and the surrounding coastal Virginia landscape are captured here in a transition from a rural agricultural economy to a suburban and military hub. The network of tidal inlets, including the W Branch Lynnhaven River and Eastern Branch Lynnhaven River, dictates the settlement patterns of established neighborhoods like Thalia Shores and Bay Colony. Inland, the Southern Railroad corridor anchors early development at Oceana and Londonbridge, while older rural hubs like Salem and Nimmo are still defined by family-named landmarks such as Woodhouse Corner and Murdens Corner.
