About this map

The Southwest Mountains anchor this 1930s landscape, providing a dramatic backdrop to the historic estates and evolving infrastructure of Albemarle County. Thomas Jefferson's legacy is central to the sheet, with Monticello prominently featured overlooking the Rivanna River and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor. The map captures the region before mid-century modernization, showing a dense network of rural landmarks such as the Albemarle Training Sch and the Rosenwald Sch, reflecting the era's segregated educational landscape.
