1929 Map of Covesville

About this map

The Albemarle Soapstone Company and the quarrying operations at Alberene anchor the industrial landscape of southern Albemarle County during this interwar period. The terrain is defined by the sharp ridges of the Fan Mountains and Appleberry Mountain, where local commerce followed the narrow valleys and gaps like Israel Gap. Transport is dominated by the Southern and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads, which linked mountain settlements like Batesville and Covesville to the river port at Scottsville on the James River.
