About this map

The James River snakes through this 2019 survey, defining the industrial and historical corridor between southern Richmond and Chesterfield County. This area is anchored by significant military and commemorative sites, notably the expansive Defense General Supply Center and protected sections of the Richmond National Battlefield Park. The river terrain, marked by Chaffin Bluff and the prominent bend at Kingsland Reach, reflects the strategic importance of the landscape during the Civil War, centered on the heights of Drewrys Bluff.

Suburban development and transit infrastructure dominate the western bank, where Meadowbrook, Bensley, and Centralia are linked by a dense network including Interstate 95 and US Highway 1. Despite this modernization, local heritage is preserved in numerous community landmarks like the Salem Baptist Church Cem and Saint James Cem, providing vital reference points for genealogical research in this historic Virginia riverfront.
