1973 Map of Charlottesville West

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The western expansion of Charlottesville meets the rising terrain of the Ragged Mountains in this early 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the academic and athletic footprint of the Univ of Virginia, featuring landmarks such as Scott Stadium, University Hall, and the McCormick Observatory atop Mt Jefferson. Suburban development is visible in neighborhoods like Canterbury Hills and Ednam Forest, while older rural centers like Millington and Owensville persist along the winding courses of the Mechums River and Moormans River. The map captures the region's transport infrastructure at a transition point, showing the Chesapeake and Ohio and Southern rail lines alongside modern industrial and research facilities such as the Institute of Textile Technology. This detail provides a clear view of the area's mid-century shift from agriculture toward institutional and residential growth.
