About this map

Virginia Beach and its surrounding coastal neighborhoods are mapped here at the height of the modern era, showing the dense grid of the resort area alongside extensive protected wetlands and military landscapes. The map detail highlights the geographic transition from the busy corridors of Pacific Ave and Atlantic Ave to the more secluded residential pockets of North Linkhorn Park and Bird Neck Point.

South of the city center, the landscape opens into a complex system of waterways and marshes. Features such as Rudee Inlet, Lake Rudee, and the brackish stretches of Malbon Swamp illustrate the delicate environmental balance of the Atlantic coast. Further down the shore, the isolated community of Sandbridge Beach sits on a thin barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Tecumseh, while the inland area of Dam Neck shows the intersection of modern suburban development and preserved coastal ecology.
