1935 Map of Charlottesville

About this map

The South Fork Rivanna River system anchors this 1935 survey, where the rolling piedmont of Albemarle County meets the foothills of the Blue Ridge. The landscape is defined by a dense network of rural infrastructure, including numerous small community schools like Mountain View Sch and Advance Mills Sch, alongside central gathering points such as Mountain Chapel and Chestnut Grove Ch. Transportation in the mid-1930s relied on the intersection of established rail lines and local river crossings. The Southern Railway passes through Barboursville, while the Chesapeake and Ohio serves the southern portions of the quadrangle near Keswick. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Piney Mtn and Sugar Loaf Mtn, which overlook the winding paths of Buck Mountain Creek and Preddy Creek.
