Worfofk . . QHome Portj Since colonial days, Norfolk and it's surrounding territory have been a cornerstone of defense for Amer- ican shores. The city is situated on Hampton Roads, the great natural harbor it shares with Portsmouth, Newport News and Hampton. This harbor is the chan- nel through which the James, Nansemond and Eliza- beth Rivers flow into the Chesapeake Bay. The chief military establishments in the area are the United States Naval Operating Base, in Norfolkg the Norfolk Navy Yard, on the Portsmouth side of the Elizabeth River and Langley Field, near Hampton. Norfolk's development as a great maritime city came with the advance of railroads, which made it the water outlet for the rich Virginia back country. It is now a giant rail and water terminus. .,..-.-iQf....... 1. Naval Base 7. Naval Hospital 2. Navy Park 8. Municipal Airport 3. Benmoreel 9. Adm. Roads Apts. 4. Staff College 10. Naval Shipyard 5.
