About this map

The James River serves as the central artery for this part of central Virginia, carving a path through a landscape where several county lines meet. The terrain is marked by traditional river-oriented settlements such as Boscobel and Vinita, while the southern reaches show the modern growth of James River Estates and residential development near Salisbury Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the area is exceptionally rich in burial grounds, ranging from small church-linked sites like the Bethel Baptist Church/Cem and Dover Church Cem to the larger Greenwood Memorial Gardens Cem.

Transport and education define the southern portion of the sheet, where the Strayer University Chesterfield Campus sits near the crossing of several major thoroughfares. The map preserves older place names such as Shooters Hill and Manakin, which sit amidst a network of modern roads like W Creek Pkwy and Patterson Ave. Significant water features like Bernards Creek and Falling Creek continue to define the drainage patterns that have shaped land use here for generations.
