About this map

The Rivanna River dictates the landscape of this Fluvanna County region, winding past Hells Bend and joining other waterways at the historic Point of Fork. At the southern edge, the town of Columbia sits at this significant river confluence, while small settlements like Stage Junction and Holmhead dot the interior. The map illustrates a transition from the river-bottom lands to the elevated plateaus where Wilmington and Carysbrook are established.

Local transport networks are anchored by river crossings and rural roads, including Griffin Bridge and Cosby Bridge. Genealogists and historians can trace the paths of long-standing routes such as Courthouse Rd and Old Rectory Ln, which connect the scattered communities of Dixie and East Point. The numerous named creeks, such as Byrd Cr and Roundabout Cr, further define the boundaries and drainage patterns of these central Virginia uplands.
