About this map

The James River and the historic James River and Kanawha Canal anchor this 2010 survey of the western suburbs of Richmond. The landscape reflects centuries of development, from the established grounds of the University of Richmond and its Westhampton Lake to the diverse residential enclaves of Tuckahoe, Westham, and Ziontown. The river itself is a focal point for infrastructure and industry, featuring the Bosher Dam, Williams Island Dam, and the Richmond Waterworks.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the transition from older agricultural tracts like Mooreland Farms and Pittaway Farms to more modern suburban developments. Named landmarks such as the Ridge Cemetery and Trabue Cemetery provide points of continuity for family researchers, while institutional footprints like the Westhampton Station Richmond Post Office and the Girl Scout Camp highlight the community's mid-century organizational growth and civic infrastructure near Bon Air.
