About this map

The James River serves as the central artery for this region of Central Virginia, dividing the landscape between Goochland, Powhatan, Henrico, and Chesterfield counties. This mid-1990s record captures the suburban expansion around Midlothian, where residential growth is signaled by developments like James River Estates and the presence of numerous Golf Courses. The map preserves several long-standing landmarks of the area's rural past, including the Huguenot Springs Cem and the river-bound terrain of Sabot Island and Tuckahoe Island.

Transitioning from the riverside flats of Boscobel and Vinita to the higher elevations of Shooters Hill, the terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems like Bernards Creek and Falling Creek. The local economy and land use are further marked by a large Quarry and various infrastructure such as a major Pipeline, reflecting the industrial and utility needs of a growing metropolitan fringe.
