Virginia Beach and the coastal barrier islands of the Mid-Atlantic are captured here during a period of significant mid-1980s development. The landscape is a study in contrasts between the established urban grids of North Virginia Beach and the sprawling military installations like Fort Story Mil Res and the U S Naval Amphibious Base. To the south, the map details the intricate waterways and marshlands of the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge, where the Virginia North Carolina state line cuts across Knotts Island Bay.
