1965 Map of Virginia Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Virginia Beach and its evolving coastal landscape are detailed in this mid-1960s study, showcasing a mix of resort development, residential expansion, and significant military footprints. The urban grid north of Lake Rudee reveals established landmarks like the Star of the Sea Ch and Temple Emanuel, while the famous Boardwalk and alphabetical avenues like Baltic Ave and Arctic Ave define the oceanfront district. Southward, the terrain shifts into more specialized zones, including the U S Naval Amphibious Base and the State Military Reservation. The transition from the developed Rudee Heights to the marshy environs of James Swamp and Lovetts Marsh illustrates the natural barrier islands' complexity. Local history is anchored by settlements like Seatack and the inland Dam Neck Corner, alongside the northern Princess Anne County Club golf course and parklands.
