1964 Map of Charlottesville East

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Monticello sits prominently on a ridge overlooking the Rivanna River during this mid-1960s survey of Albemarle County. The landscape is a mix of the developing city and older agricultural foundations, notably marked by the planned expansion of the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir. Blue hatching on the map indicates the specific areas destined for submersion behind the South Fork Rivanna River Dam, illustrating a significant transformation of the local hydrology. Within the urban core of Charlottesville, the historic Vinegar Hill neighborhood and institutional landmarks like the Blue Ridge Sanatorium are clearly defined. The transition of transportation is evident in the presence of the Southern Railroad alongside the Old Southern Railroad Grade. Educational and civic life are represented through numerous mapped sites, including the Burley High Sch and Walker Jr High Sch, alongside numerous family and church burial grounds such as Michie Tavern Cem and Griffin Cem.
