1964 Map of Seven Pines

About this map

Richmond National Battlefield Park preserves the complex terrain east of the city, where mid-century growth meets carefully guarded history. This survey illustrates the evolving landscape between the Chickahominy River and White Oak Swamp, showing how suburban developments like Highland Springs and Sandston have expanded around the perimeter of the Richard Evelyn Byrd International Airport. The geography remains deeply tied to its industrial and agricultural past, with scattered sites such as Gaines Mill, Ellerson Mill, and Barkers Mill marking the streams that once powered local economies.
