1964 Map of Bon Air

About this map

The James River corridor west of Richmond defines this mid-century landscape, where suburban expansion meets Virginia’s deep industrial and educational history. On the north bank, the University of Richmond and Windsor Farms anchor established neighborhoods, while the historic Kanawha Canal and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad trace the river's bend. Notable landmarks such as the Bellona Arsenal Ruins hint at the area's 19th-century military manufacturing, while the presence of the State Police Airport and emerging developments like Crestview and Tuckahoe Village signal the post-war shift toward modern infrastructure.
