About this map

The Rivanna River and its major tributaries, the N Fork Rivanna River and S Fork Rivanna River, define the landscape east of the city. This 2013 survey shows the suburban expansion around Rio and Hydraulic, where residential developments like Dunlora Plantation and Templeton Acres have replaced earlier agrarian tracts. The convergence of Us 29 and Us 250 anchors the transportation network, highlighting the area's continued growth as a regional hub.

Historical crossing points remain evident, such as Free Bridge and Secretarys Ford, providing a link to the river-based transit routes of previous centuries. The terrain rises sharply to the east at Shadwell Mountain and Wolfpit Mountain, marking the transition from the river valley to higher ground. This map also preserves the names of smaller communities and geographic markers like Bentivar, Carrsbrook, and Profit, which offer a clear view of the area's local identity before further modernization.
