1974 Map of Glen Allen
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Glen Allen and its surrounding Henrico County countryside are captured here in an orthophotoquad format, using aerial photography from 1974. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this imagery reveals the exact footprint of suburban expansion and forest cover during the mid-1970s. The Chickahominy River winds through the landscape, serving as a primary natural boundary and drainage for the region. The map provides a clear look at the early residential subdivisions and the burgeoning road network that defined this part of the Richmond metropolitan area during a period of rapid growth. Researchers can observe the transition from agricultural fields to the planned residential clusters that would come to define the modern community.
