2019 Map of Covesville

About this map

Covesville and North Garden anchor this landscape in Albemarle County, where the southern reaches of the Ragged Mountains meet the fertile valleys of the Piedmont. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges including Chalk Mtn, Israel Mtn, and the Boaz Mountains, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Monacan Trail Rd and Plank Rd. The map reveals a settled rural character, with numerous family and community cemeteries such as Wild Rose Cem, Zion Cem, and Rising Sun Cem scattered across the upland hollows and valley floors. Water from the N Fork Hardware River and S Fork Hardware River drains the complex topography, supporting sites like Pagebrook Farm and the Bundoran Airport. This 2019 survey documents a region where historic road alignments and small mountain gaps continue to shape the distribution of local residences and agriculture.
