USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Colonial Heights and the village of Chester anchor this mid-century portrait of Chesterfield County's evolving transport landscape. The mapping captures a period of significant infrastructure development, most notably the introduction of the Richmond Petersburg Turnpike and its various intersections like Interchange 4, cutting through a terrain defined by the winding Swift Creek. To the north, the James River (Old Channel) loops around Farrar Island, reflecting the historical importance of the waterway alongside modern industrial markers like the Colonial Heights Waterworks and Midway Airport.
