The suburban development of Chesterfield County south of Richmond is characterized by a dense network of residential subdivisions and community landmarks. Neighborhoods like Wedgewood, Mayfair Estates, and Kings Forest are interspersed with historical family burial grounds including Providence Cemetery and Mount Giea Cemetery. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Falling Creek and Pocoshock Creek, which have been modified over time to create numerous impoundments such as Upper Beaver Pond and the Licking Creek Fishing Club Lake. Significant local infrastructure is evident at the Chesterfield County Airport and the Chesterfield Post Office, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the expansive Swift Creek Lake and recreational sites like Camp Shawondasee. This 2010 survey illustrates the transition of the area into a sprawling residential corridor, where the legacy of older farms such as Jessup Farm Acres persists in the modern street names and tract boundaries.
