1945 Map of Covesville

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Batesville and the surrounding foothill communities of Albemarle County are captured here just after the war, showing a landscape defined by its river-and-rail industry. The southern edge of the quadrangle follows the James River, where Scottsville and Warren serve as historic focal points for waterborne transit and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line. Further inland, the complex geography of Green Mountain and the Ragged Mountains separates small agrarian and industrial settlements. The map highlights the local importance of the Virginia Albemarle railroad, which historically served the soapstone quarrying industry centered around Alberene. Researchers will find a high density of rural institutions, from Mt Zion Ch and Sharon Ch to local education centers like Garland Sch and Warren Sch. This 1945 revision, based on aerial photography, provides a clear view of the pre-modern road network connecting the Hardware River crossings at Johnson Mill and Dawson Mill.
