About this map

Doylesville and the winding Doyles River anchor this topographic view of the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge in Albemarle County. The landscape is defined by its hollows and prominent summits, where the Appalachian Trl and Skyline Dr trace the high ground through Browns Gap and past the Trayfoot Mountain Overlook. Historic family and community connections are preserved in the locations of Mount Carmel Cemetery, Sandridge Cemetery, and Tate Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the river valleys.

Agricultural and forest land use is evident in named properties like Mount Air Farm and Blue Fox Farm, while the southern edge of the map features the Charlottesville Reservoir and Sugar Hollow Dam. The network of roads, including the Browns Gap Tpke and Black Rock Gap RD, illustrates the historical transit routes connecting small settlements like Mountfair, Brightberry, and Walnut Level to the mountain passes.
