1967 Map of Boyd Tavern

About this map

The Rivanna River defines the landscape of this Fluvanna County region, winding past historical crossing points and industry sites like Union Mills and Paynes Mill. The 1960s terrain is characterized by its rural infrastructure, including several denominational landmarks such as Beaverdam Ch, Effort Ch, and Haden Chapel. A notable transition in the late 20th century is captured by the addition of Lake Monticello, a sprawling man-made reservoir that contrasts with the traditional farmsteads and the long-established path of Three Chopt Road. Small settlements like Boyd Tavern and Cunningham anchor the local road network, while specialized facilities like the State Prison Camp No 12 and the Three Chopt Community Center serve the community. The map also records early industrial activity through scattered Quarries and several pipelines traversing the wooded hills.
