1964 Map of Charlottesville West

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Ragged Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, rising above the western edges of Charlottesville. This era captures a period of suburban expansion into the foothills, evidenced by the development of neighborhoods like Bellair, Ednam Forest, and Canterbury Hills. The geographic heart of the map is defined by the Chesapeake and Ohio and Southern railroads, which converge near the city center and the university grounds. Cultural landmarks of the period are prominently visible, including the Farmington Country Club, the McCormick Observatory, and Scott Stadium. Water resources are a central theme, with the recently created S Fk Rivanna River Reservoir and the Charlottesville Reservoir providing critical infrastructure for the growing community. Farther west, older rural settlements such as Millington and Owensville maintain their character along the Moormans River and Mechums River.
