About this map

Richmond National Battlefield Park dominates the landscape of this Hanover and Henrico County region, preserving ground near historic mill sites like Gaines Mill and Ellerson Mill. The terrain is defined by the winding Chickahominy River and the numerous swamps and creeks that influenced the movement of armies, including White Oak Swamp and Elder Swamp. Residential expansion is evident in settlements such as Mechanicsville and Highland Springs, which surround the core of these heritage sites.

Modern infrastructure, including the Richmond International Airport and the major thoroughfare of Mechanicsville Tpke, interfaces with local landmarks like Beulah Cem and Walnut Grove Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from dense suburban neighborhoods in East Highland Park to the smaller hamlets of Old Cold Harbor and New Cold Harbor. Significant military footprints are also present at Fort Lee and the Rnbp site, illustrating the layers of modern and 19th-century history that overlap here.
