1969 Map of Drewrys Bluff

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The James River carves through the landscape south of Richmond, defining a corridor where Civil War history meets mid-century suburban expansion. The eastern bank is dominated by the Richmond National Battlefield Park, preserving a dense network of fortifications including White Battery, Fort Hoke, and Fort Darling. These earthen defenses, noted as Battle Trenches and Bettie Trenches, stand in contrast to the rapid development appearing on the western side of the river. New residential patterns emerge in Bensley Village and Bellwood Manor, while the sprawling U. S. Dept. Of Defense Supply Center and the McGuire Veterans Hospital signify the area's massive institutional growth. The Seaboard Coast Line and Richmond Petersburg Turnpike provide the primary transit spine through Chesterfield County, connecting old settlements like Centralia to the urban center.
