1973 Map of Richmond

About this map

The State Capitol anchors this detailed survey of Eastern Virginia, where the urban density of Richmond and Petersburg gives way to the tidal landscapes of the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck. This era of mapping shows the established interstate system, including Interstate 95 and Interstate 64, cutting through a region defined by its deep colonial roots and significant military presence. Major installations like the Fort Lee Mil Res, Fort Eustis Mil Res, and Langley AFB are clearly delineated alongside preserved lands such as the Colonial Nat Hist Pk.
