The map tracks the expansion of Charlottesville and its surrounding communities during the early 1970s, including Pantops, Shadwell, and Milton. The Rivanna River snakes through the center, while the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir sits to the northwest, shaped by the South Fork Rivanna River Dam. This edition provides exceptional detail for genealogists, marking several family-named burial grounds like the Garrison Cem and Munday Cem, as well as the Hebrew Cem and Riverview Cem. Industrial and civic life is noted through the Southern Railroad corridor and institutional sites such as the Blue Ridge Sanatorium and Martha Jefferson Hospital.
