The map
About this Richmond map poster
Richmond grew at the fall line of the James River, where rapids stopped ships sailing upstream, and from above the river cuts across the southern part of the city in a broad band dotted with rocky islands. Belle Isle sits in the middle of the rapids, linked to the shore by a footbridge, and bridges cross the river in several places.
North of the river, downtown occupies a grid around the Virginia State Capitol, designed by Thomas Jefferson. To the west, the Fan District spreads out as a distinctive fan-shaped grid of streets, bordered by Monument Avenue, a wide, tree-lined boulevard. Hollywood Cemetery curves along the bluffs above the river.
As the capital of Virginia, and once of the Confederacy, Richmond has layers of history visible in its streets and landmarks. A Richmond map poster shows how the river, the falls and the old neighbourhoods fit together, from the capitol grid to the fanning streets of the west end.

The Fan District
West of downtown, streets radiate in a fan shape, a distinctive pattern of rowhouse neighbourhoods that is instantly recognisable from above.
Monument Avenue
A broad, tree-lined boulevard runs west from the Fan, drawing a long straight line across the city and forming one of its best-known streets.
