About this map

Richmond National Battlefield Park sites dominate the landscape of eastern Henrico and Hanover counties, preserving the ground of several Civil War conflicts near the Chickahominy River. The map highlights historical landmarks like the Garthright House and Watt House, providing specific points of reference for the 1862 and 1864 campaigns. North of the river, the areas around Old Cold Harbor and New Cold Harbor show a transition from rural crossroads to residential developments like Brandy Creek Estates and Stonewall Estates.

Industrial and community hubs are scattered throughout, from the milling history at Ellerson Mill and Gaines Mill to the growing suburbs of Mechanicsville and Highland Springs. The southern portion of the sheet is anchored by Richmond International Airport (Byrd Field) and the established community of Seven Pines, where the National Cem stands as a permanent reminder of the area's wartime significance. Numerous rural churches like Shiloh Ch and Beulah Ch serve as touchstones for local genealogy.
