About this map

Green Mountain and Dudley Mountain dominate this central Virginia landscape, which was meticulously documented in the late 1960s by the Commonwealth of Virginia and the USGS. The settlement of Alberene serves as a focal point for local history, surrounded by numerous small family and community cemeteries. Evidence of the region's industrial and agricultural past is visible through several labeled quarries and a network of jeep trails and unimproved roads.

The area is defined by its water systems, particularly the Hardware River and its various forks and branches, such as White Oak Creek and Biscuit Run. Local transit was anchored by the Southern railroad line, while spiritual life centered on scattered congregations like Mayo Chapel and Bethany Ch. Notable landmarks like Carters Bridge and Reynovia Lake provide further context for the mid-century development of Albemarle County.
