About this map

The James River defines the southern heart of this urban landscape, where the historical topography of the Virginia capital is marked by a concentration of cemeteries and national memorial sites. From the sprawling Hollywood Cem overlooking the river to the Richmond National Cemetery in the east, the map documents the city's complex memorial geography. Important cultural landmarks such as the Maggie L Walker National Historic Site and the historic Saint Johns Cem in Church Hill anchor the residential grid.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is deeply integrated into the terrain, visible in the rail yards at Acca and the crossings at Boulevard Bridge. The river itself is divided by Belle Isle and Browns Island, once centers of industry and now central to the Richmond National Battlefield Park. Neighborhoods such as Ginter Park, Windsor Farms, and Highland Park illustrate the city's northward and westward expansion away from the river valley.
