1956 Map of Charlottesville

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah Mountains dominate this mid-century portrait of Central Virginia and the Potomac Highlands. The valley floor is defined by the three forks of the Shenandoah River and the bustling corridor of Us 11, connecting key regional centers like Harrisonburg, Staunton, and Waynesboro. To the east, the city of Charlottesville sits at the foot of the mountains, while the heights are preserved within Shenandoah National Park and the winding Skyline Drive.
