About this map

Oceana Naval Air Station anchors the eastern landscape of this coastal Virginia region, surrounded by rapidly expanding residential developments and commercial hubs. The mid-1960s terrain shows a community in transition, where established rural sites like Wolfsnare Plantation and Piney Grove Ch meet newer institutional landmarks such as the Tidewater Community College. The intricate waterways of the Eastern Branch Lynnhaven River and West Neck Creek define the geography, separating neighborhoods like Kings Grant and Malibu from the more concentrated urban core near London Bridge. This survey highlights the infrastructure supporting growth, including the Norfolk Southern Railroad and Virginia Beach Boulevard, which weave through a landscape of shopping centers, drive-in theaters, and emerging school districts like Floyd E Kellam High Sch.
