About this map

The Chickahominy River winds through the borderlands between Hanover and Henrico counties, anchoring a landscape where rural crossroads meet expanding suburban infrastructure. Significant transportation arteries such as Three Chopt Road and Nuckols Road converge near the settlement of Short Pump, while the heavy rail lines of the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac corridor define the eastern flank through Glen Allen and Laurel.

Genealogists and local historians will find numerous landmarks of the mid-20th century, including the Springfield Elem Sch and several country congregations like Chickahominy Ch and Forest Grove Ch. The map highlights a period of transition, documenting early residential clusters like Bretton Woods alongside public spaces like the General Sheppard Crump Memorial Park. Industrial and municipal development is evident in the presence of a Pipeline and Sewage Disposal facilities near the river's many branches, including Rooty Branch and Hungary Branch.
