About this map

The Richmond National Battlefield Park anchors this terrain east of the city, preserving the grounds of legendary Civil War engagements. The landscape is defined by the swampy lowlands of the Chickahominy River and White Oak Swamp, areas that significantly influenced military movements during the Peninsula Campaign. The survey highlights the solemn presence of both the Cold Harbor National Cemetery and the Seven Pines National Cemetery, marking the final resting places of thousands from those conflicts.

Suburban growth has filled in the gaps between traditional crossroads like Highland Springs, Sandston, and Seven Pines. While industrial sites like Richmond International Airport dominate the south, the map still records the locations of older landmarks such as Gaines Mill, Ellerson Mill, and Barkers Mill, which trace the community's early milling economy along waterways like Beaverdam Cr and Sandy Valley Cr.
