About this map

The James River serves as the central artery for this mid-1960s suburban survey, with revisions from 1979 tracing the expansion of West Richmond and Chesterfield County. On the northern bank, the sprawling University of Richmond campus sits near the Westhampton district, while the historic Bellona Arsenal Ruins remain visible further upstream. The landscape reflects a period of significant growth, with suburban developments like Crestview and Stratford Hills infilling between established corridors such as Three Chopt Road and Patterson Ave.

South of the river, the community of Bon Air anchors a network of residential neighborhoods like Granite and Gravel Hill. Transportation patterns are well-defined by the Chesapeake and Ohio and Southern railroads, alongside the emergence of modern infrastructure like Chippenham Pkwy. Local institutional history is documented through numerous religious and educational sites, including St Christophers Sch and Trinity Ch.
