About this map

The South Fork Rivanna River and North Fork Rivanna River converge north of Charlottesville, forming the Rivanna River as it winds past the historic core of Albemarle County. This landscape is defined by the elevation of Carters Mtn and Wolfpit Mtn overlooking the developing eastern corridors of the city. Notable for its dense cluster of civic and commemorative sites, the area includes the Jefferson Tomb and various long-established burial grounds such as Oakwood Cem and Maplewood Cem.

Residential growth is evident in established and emerging neighborhoods like Rio, Key West, and Pantops. The transition from the urban center of Charlottesville to rural hamlets like Shadwell and Proffit reveals the varied development patterns of this Piedmont region. The map also records essential local landmarks like the Charlottesville City Courthouse and the Piedmont Virginia Community College, serving as a detailed record of the community's infrastructure in the late 2010s.
