I'll give them a look but so far the furthest East most show are Libby Hill or Rocket's Landing and some in the direction of Fulton but seem to completely miss the area between Shockoe Slip and Chimborazo North of Broad. Even early Sanborn maps completely overlook this area and map around it for some reason. Also, Broad Street before the Civil War did not go straight through but stopped at 28th Street and you went around the hill to get to the other side (by road) - unrelated but a true trivia fact.

Do any of Benjamin Henry Latrobe's watercolors of Richmond show that part of town? I recall from a long-ago conversation with Jack Zehmer that, in a number of cases, those watercolors are the earliest or only known depiction of certain Richmond structures.
The watercolors are reproduced in in Latrobe's View of America, 1795-1830, ed. Edward C. Carter, John C. VanHorne, and Charles E. Brownell (New
Haven: Yale Univ. Press for the Maryland Historical Society, 1985).
