MapQuest Virginia: A working map for Virginia

The map frame for Virginia changes quickly between Virginia Beach, Richmond, and the surrounding Blue Ridge and Appalachian ranges, Piedmont, Chesapeake Bay, and Tidewater coast. In Virginia, MapQuest Virginia is useful when those anchors are treated as distinct stops. Virginia stretches from mountain corridors to Tidewater, so a route should distinguish the capital region, the coastal bridges, and the western passes.
