1984 Map of Richmond

About this map

The James River and Chickahominy River anchor the southern urban corridor of this mid-1980s landscape, while the northern reaches remain defined by a network of smaller rural settlements like Mangohick, Beulahville, and Chilesburg. In the city center, the State Capitol stands near the historic Hollywood Cem, marking the core of Virginia's political life. The map illustrates the convergence of major transportation arteries, including Interstate 95 and the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac RR, which facilitate the region's northward expansion toward Ashland.
