2016 Map of Charlottesville East

About this map

University of Virginia anchors the western edge of this landscape, where the urban grid of Charlottesville meets the rising terrain of the southwest mountains. The map documents a significant concentration of commemorative and ancestral sites, including the Jefferson Tomb and Monticello Graveyard near Carters Mtn, alongside numerous urban burial grounds such as Maplewood Cem and Oakwood Cem. The drainage patterns of the Rivanna River and its forks define the topography, with settlements like Pantops and Shadwell situated at key river crossings and high points. This 2016 record shows the modern expansion of neighborhoods like Hollymead and Northfields north of the city, while preserving the location of established landmarks like Piedmont Virginia Community Coll and the route of the Chesapeake & Ohio RR as it follows the river valley east toward Milton.
