1965 Map of Princess Anne

About this map

Oceana Naval Air Station dominates the eastern landscape of this coastal survey, reflecting the significant military presence integrated into the suburban growth of Virginia Beach. The map documents a period of rapid mid-century expansion, where residential developments like Princess Anne Plaza, Windsor Woods, and Thalia Village began to fill the spaces between historic creek systems. The geography is defined by the intricate fingers of the Eastern Branch Lynnhaven River and Western Br Lynnhaven R, which carved out points and coves like Witch Duck Point and Hebden Cove. Educational and community anchors such as the Tidwater Community College and Floyd E Kellam High Sch appear alongside established social hubs like the Bow Creek Country Club, illustrating the transition from a maritime-rural economy to a modern residential and naval center.
