About this map

Colonial National Historical Park preserves the complex geography of this Virginia Peninsula landscape, where military installations and residential developments sit alongside centuries of American history. The York River shoreline is defined by the historic core of Yorktown, featuring landmarks like Cornwallis Cave and the Yorktown National Cem, while modern expansion is visible in the neighborhoods of Lee Hall, Denbigh, and Stoney Brook Estates.

Strategic land use dominates much of the map, from the sprawling Naval Weapons Station Yorktown to the southern reaches of Joint Base Langley-Eustis and Felker Army Airfield. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites, including the Masonic Burial Grounds, Cheesecake Cem, and Grace Episcopal Church Cem. The map traces the intricate hydrography of the region, from the winding Warwick River to Skiffes Creek and the tidal flats surrounding Goose Island.
