1949 Map of Charlottesville

About this map

Charlottesville and the University of Virginia anchor the eastern foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the corrugated ridges of the Allegheny Mountains to the west and the broad Shenandoah Valley, where the South Fork Shenandoah River meanders between Massanutten Mountain and the Blue Ridge. This era shows the region's transport network at a peak of complexity, with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway and Norfolk and Western Railway threading through gaps to connect industrial hubs like Waynesboro and Staunton.
