RICHMOND VA. - OUTLYING AREA

A few photographs, taken 9-21-2003, reflecting Hurricane Isabel's visit

In 1998, the National Park Service - Richmond gave me permission to use their map on this page. Since then I have completely redrawn it and the map below should no longer be considered an N.P.S. product. I, not they, am completely responsible for any errors and omissions (i.e., missing roads, etc) on the redrawn map.

The current N.P.S. map (not shown) outlines, with a green dotted line, an 80-mile tour visiting almost all of the relevant Civil War sites in the Richmond area. I know of no better way for a Civil War buff to spend a day or two than by taking the tour described by the map. The map is part of the National Park Service's Richmond Guide and is available when you visit the Park Visitors Center at 470 Tredegar Street, Richmond, Virginia (in the Tedegar Iron Works) or the shelters or visitor centers located at the various battlefield sites in the Richmond area. The map in the guide is more accurate and is certainly more readable than the one presented here.
