1974 Map of Bon Air
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The James River carves a dramatic path through this 1974 orthophotoquad, serving as the defining natural boundary between the expanding suburbs of Chesterfield County and the city of Richmond. This aerial perspective captures the region during a period of significant suburban infill, where dense residential street networks are shown pressing right against the river's edge and wooded bluffs. In the southwest, the community of Bon Air appears as a developed residential hub, its early Victorian resort origins now fully integrated into the modern commuter landscape of the mid-1970s. The sharp contrast between the dark, winding river and the geometric grid of new subdivisions illustrates the rapid post-war growth that transformed the Virginia Piedmont during this era.
