1972 Map of Charlottesville East

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Rivanna River serves as the central artery of this landscape, its winding path and the confluence with the South Fork Rivanna River defining the development of the area. This 1972 orthophoto captures the transition from the dense urban grid in the southwest to the agricultural and wooded expanses of Albemarle County. James L. Calver, serving as State Geologist, oversaw this survey that clearly distinguishes the topographical rise of Southwestern Mountain and Carters Mountain from the lower river valleys. The aerial imagery provides a direct view of land use patterns, showcasing the contrast between the established neighborhoods, the expanding transportation corridors, and the rural estates that have long characterized this part of Virginia.
