2013 Map of Charlottesville West

About this map

Lewis Mountain and the institutional landscape of the university dominate the eastern edge of this survey, featuring landmarks like the Leander J McCormick Observatory and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. The terrain transitions from the developed suburbs of Georgetown Green and Ivy Farms into the rolling foothills of the Ragged Mountains to the southwest. Major water features including the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir and Charlottesville Reservoir define the local hydrology, while the Mechums River and Moormans River converge near the settlement of Millington.
