RICHMOND VA. - OUTLYING AREA

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

In 1998, the National Park Service gave me permission to use the Richmond National Battlefield map on this site. Since then I have completely redrawn the map, and, as a result, the map (below) should no longer be considered a National Park Service product. They are not responsible for any errors and omissions (i.e., missing roads, etc) on the redrawn map.

The current N.P.S. map (not the map shown below) outlines, with a green dotted line, an 80-mile auto 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 any of 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 my version presented below.
