About this map

The University of Virginia campus and the western expansion of Charlottesville dominate the eastern half of this landscape, where the historic East Lawn and Madison Bowl meet modern residential enclaves like University Heights and Ednam Forest. This survey captures the transition from the dense urban and academic core to the foothills of the Blue Ridge, punctuated by the Ragged Mountains and significant peaks such as Bear Den Mtn and Woodson Mtn.

Tracing the waterways reveals the influence of the Mechums River and Moormans River on early settlement patterns in villages like Millington and Ivy. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the rural areas, including the Oak Union Baptist Church Cem and Olivet Presbyterian Church Cem, alongside landmarks like the University of Virginia Cem and Columbarium. The network of Ragged Mountain Natural Area Trails shows the modern intersection of conservation and recreation south of Interstate 64.
