About this map

Barboursville and its surrounding countryside are captured in this mid-century survey at the meeting point of Orange, Greene, and Albemarle Counties. The landscape is dominated by the Southwest Mountains to the south, where heights like Goodlow Mtn and Peters Mtn overlook the rolling Piedmont. The Southern railroad line cuts through the heart of the region, passing through the village and near the notable Barbour Ruins, providing a glimpse into the area's architectural and transportation history.

Smaller settlements and rural centers such as Tibbstown, Burnley, and Ruckersville are connected by a network of creeks, including Preddy Creek and Blue Run. The map records numerous community anchors, from St Marys Ch and Knights Chapel to local landmarks like a Drive-in Theater and a Trailer Park. Family history researchers will find several unnamed cemeteries and the Ruckersville Cem distributed throughout these historical farmsteads and crossroads.
