About this map

University of Virginia stands as a central anchor in this detailed survey, illustrating the modern footprint of the campus alongside the historic neighborhoods of Vinegar Hill and Belmont. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the South Fork Rivanna River and the North Fork Rivanna River, which meet to form the Rivanna River. These waterways are flanked by storied crossing points like Free Bridge and the historic Secretarys Ford.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the large Oakwood Cemetery and Maplewood Cemetery in the city center to smaller family and community grounds such as Garrison Cemetery, Munday Cemetery, and Moon Cemetery. The eastern terrain rises toward the Southwest mountains, featuring Shadwell Mountain and the Monticello Historic Site, preserving the spatial relationship between Thomas Jefferson's estate and the developed valley floor.
