About this map

Richmond sits at the head of navigation on the James River, serving as a central hub for major rail lines including the Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac RR and the Chesapeake & Ohio Ry. The mid-century landscape is defined by the heavy military presence in the Tidewater and Piedmont regions, anchored by installations such as Camp Pickett near Blackstone and Fort Monroe overlooking the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay.
