2016 Map of Bon Air

About this map

The James River serves as the central artery for this portion of central Virginia, separating the suburban developments of Henrico Co from Chesterfield Co. The landscape is a complex of established residential districts and natural landmarks, including Tuckahoe Island and Williams Island. Significant local history is preserved in sites like the Gravel Hill Cem and Trabue Cem, alongside the sprawling grounds of the Univ of Richmond. The area’s historic infrastructure remains visible through the James River and Kanawha Canal, which runs parallel to the river. High-density residential growth is evident in settlements such as Ziontown, Lorraine, and Bon Air, while major crossings like the Huguenot Memorial Bridge facilitate movement across the water. From the wooded residential enclaves of Mooreland Farms to the industrial and commercial corridors near Dumbarton, the map illustrates the modern character of the Richmond metropolitan area.
