About this map

The University of Virginia anchors this detailed study of Charlottesville and its surrounding countryside, showing a mid-century city defined by its academic, medical, and agricultural institutions. The landscape is marked by prominent estates and historical sites, including Monticello and Ash Lawn, as well as the Blue Ridge Sanatorium and the State Experimental Farm. Transportation routes like the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway and the Southern Railway converge in the city center, following the natural drainage of Moores Creek and the Rivanna River.
