1977 Map of Charlottesville East

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Charlottesville serves as the central hub of this 1977 orthophoto, where the urban grid of the city meets the winding paths of the Virginia piedmont. The landscape is defined by the confluence of the North Fork Rivanna River and the South Fork Rivanna River, which snake through the terrain north of the city center. To the east, the historic settlement of Shadwell sits near the base of Wolfpit Mountain, marking a transition from the developing residential outskirts to more wooded and agricultural lands. This aerial perspective, produced in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, captures the mid-seventies footprint of the region, showing the density of growth along Moores Creek and the rural character surrounding Eastham. The imagery provides a clear view of land use patterns, from the organized streets of the university town to the expansive forest cover and river bottomlands that characterize this portion of Albemarle County.
