2016 Map of Yorktown

About this map

Colonial National Historical Park anchors the northern reaches of this coastal Virginia landscape, preserving the hallowed grounds of Yorktown. This modern survey reveals a dense network of suburban development and historical sites where the York River meets the Chesapeake. The interface between history and infrastructure is clear, as the Coleman Memorial Bridge spans the river toward Gloucester Point, while the Yorktown National Cemetery and Pigeon Quarter reflect the area's deep-rooted heritage. To the south, the city of Newport News expands through neighborhoods like Denbigh and Hanover Heights. Significant military and institutional presence is visible at Felker Army Airfield and the Centura College- Newport News Campus, while natural features like Skiffes Creek and Beaverdam Creek weave through the peninsula’s residential growth.
