About this map

Alberene and its surrounding Piedmont countryside are defined by a pattern of historic estates and family-named agricultural operations. The landscape is anchored by the Hardware River and its North Fork, where the terrain transitions from the heights of Carters Mtn and Dudley Mtn into fertile valleys. This era shows the persistence of named agrarian landmarks like Estouteville Farm, Redland Farm, and Viewmount Farm, reflecting the deep-seated landownership traditions of Albemarle County.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate several community burial grounds, including Chestnut Grove Cem and Mount Olivet Cem. The network of old thoroughfares, such as Plank Rd and Old Lynchburg Rd, provides a framework for understanding how these rural settlements and farms were connected. Small developments like Arrowhead sit alongside vast natural features such as Green Mtn, illustrating the blend of residential growth and preserved rural character.
