About this map

Charlottesville and the surrounding Piedmont landscape are captured here in the late 1930s, anchored by the iconic estate at Monticello and the industrial activity of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Southern Railway lines. The map reveals a deeply established social geography, showing prominent educational and medical institutions such as the Albemarle Training Sch, the Rosenwald Sch, and the Blue Ridge Sanatorium. Rural life is centered on small junctions and settlements like Barboursville, Ruckersville, and Stony Point, many of which developed along early corridors like the Spotswood Trail.
