1935 Map of Charlottesville And Vicinity

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

University of Virginia anchors this mid-1930s landscape, serving as a hub for the growing city and surrounding Albemarle County estates. The map highlights a sophisticated local infrastructure during this era, including the Leander McCormick Observatory, Scott Stadium, and the Filtration Plant. South of the city, the historic legacy of the region is well-documented with the estates at Monticello, Tufton, and Ash Lawn clearly marked along the slopes of Carter Mountain. This survey illustrates a transitional period where established landmarks like the Blue Ridge Sanatorium and Farmington Country Club coexist with rural structures such as Mayo Chapel and Simeon Sch. The transportation network is defined by the crossing of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway and the Southern Railway, while the Jefferson Highway and Scottsville Road facilitate travel through the river valleys and mountain gaps.
