About this map

The Chickahominy River bisects this landscape, separating the dense suburban growth of eastern Henrico County from the historically significant terrain of Hanover County. This 2013 survey illustrates the modernization of a region defined by its Civil War heritage, where the Cold Harbor Battlefield remains preserved alongside evolving residential developments like Sandston and Fair Oaks. The transportation network is anchored by the Richmond International Airport in the south, while older road traces like Cold Harbor Rd and Mechanicsville Tpke follow paths established long before the era of modern bypasses.

Local industry and topography are marked by names that recall an earlier agricultural and milling economy, including Gaines Mill, Ellerson Mill, and Beaties Mill. To the east, the low-lying wetlands of White Oak Swamp and Elder Swamp contrast with the higher ground of Turkey Hill. Notable landmarks such as Christian's Airport and the Highland Springs Golf Course reflect the area's 20th-century transition from rural outposts to an integrated part of the Richmond metropolitan corridor.
