“Map of Norfolk County, Va.: made for and published by authority of the Board of Supervisors”

This landownership map of Norfolk County was published in 1887. The former County’s origins and development is described in the Library of Congress catalog record:
“Norfolk County was a county of the South Hampton Roads in eastern Virginia, created in 1691. After the Civil War, portions of Norfolk County were lost and the territory became parts of the cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth and South Norfolk. In 1963, the remaining portions of Norfolk County were consolidated with the much smaller city of South Norfolk to form Chesapeake, Virginia.”
