2010 Map of Drewrys Bluff

About this map

James River shipping and industrial expansion define this 2010 landscape south of Richmond. The Deepwater Terminal Port of Richmond and the Southside Station Richmond Post Office serve as major logistical hubs, while the namesake Drewrys Bluff stands over the Kingsland Reach. This era shows a dense network of suburban developments such as Bellwood, Bensley, and Chesterfield Court filling the space between the river and the inland creeks. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including Cary Cemetery and Saint James Cemetery, which remain amidst the modern transport corridors. Water management is prominent through features like the Falling Creek Filtration Plant Dam and Falling Creek Reservoir, illustrating the infrastructure required to support the growing residential communities of South Garden and Oakland.
