2010 Map of Chester

About this map

Chester serves as the focal point of this 2010 survey, showcasing a landscape of suburban expansion south of Richmond. The residential character of the region is defined by numerous developments such as Lora Lynn Heights, Mistwood Forest, and Windsor Hills, which surround the primary commercial and transportation corridor of Interstate 95. Significant historical and genealogical markers are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including the Perdue Family Cemetery and Hollywood Cemetery. Along the eastern edge, the industrial and nautical history of the region is evident where Redwater Creek flows toward the James River (Old Channel) and the distinctive terrain of Farrar Island at Dutch Gap. To the south, the community of Colonial Heights begins to emerge near the Appomattox River, while local landmarks like the Swift Creek Mill reflect the area's long-standing connection to its waterways.
