1964 Map of Charlottesville East

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Carters Mountain and the Southwestern Mountains define the topography east of the city, where the Rivanna River carves its way through the landscape. This mid-1960s survey, with updates from 1968, illustrates the northward expansion of Charlottesville as suburban neighborhoods like Northfields and Woodbrook emerge alongside older rural sites. To the southeast, the historic legacy of the area is centered at Monticello Cem and the Jefferson Tomb, while the transportation network is anchored by the Southern Railroad and the Chesapeake and Ohio River. The map documents a community in transition, balancing its deep-seated history at Shadwell and Milton with the modern utility of the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir and the Blue Ridge Sanatorium. Local landmarks such as the Martha Jefferson Hospital and numerous neighborhood schools like Lane High Sch are clearly visible within the urbanizing core.
