Sinopsis

This is the first book in the Every Square Inch of Norfolk Virginia Series, the most ambitious project of history and geography ever attempted for Norfolk - and one of the most unusual projects of its kind anywhere in the field of geography.

Norfolk, Virginia: Evolution of a City in Maps (200 Years of Maps Compared Side By Side) presents, among other things, an astonishing array of maps that, for the first time, shows in stunning detail the phenomenal evolution of one of America's most historic and important cities from its beginnings as a town to its current expanse. Indeed, this volume provides the basemaps to which all the other volumes will substantially refer. So it's not only the first book of what promises to become a classic in history-geography but it's an invaluable reference in itself.

The first eight books of the series cover general topics pertaining to the entire area of Norfolk, taking in all the land within the current city limits. The ten remaining books (9 to 18) separately cover specific areas of Norfolk, covering the history-geography of the original town and borough and each area annexed, in the order in which the area was annexed.

The extent of geography and history that is covered in these books is truly breathtaking. A listing of the titles and sub-titles gives a hint of the incredible amount of information contained in them:
