About this map

National Battlefield Park preservation areas are scattered throughout this landscape, protecting the memory of the American Civil War's Peninsula Campaign and the Overland Campaign. Landmarks such as the Garthright House, Watt House, and Ellerson Mill sit alongside newer developments like Brandy Creek Estates and Heckler Village. The Chickahominy River winds through the center of the sheet, historically a formidable barrier for troop movements, now crossed by an Old Railroad Grade.

Suburban growth from Richmond is evident in the mid-1960s as residential clusters like Sandston, Seven Pines, and Highland Springs expand near the Richmond Municipal Airport (Byrd Field). To the north, the terrain remains more agricultural and wooded, dotted with rural churches like Shiloh Ch and Springfield Ch. The map captures the intersection of heavy aviation infrastructure with small-scale milling history at Brandy Branch Mill and Barkers Mill.
