About this map

Crozet and its surrounding Piedmont villages stand at the foothills of the Blue Ridge, where the CSX Transportation line and the Mechums River define the local geography. This 2019 survey captures the developed corridor of The Meadows and Brownsville, contrasting with the higher elevations of Beaver Creek Mtn and Bucks Elbow Mtn to the west. The landscape is dotted with small family and community burial grounds, including Rock Gate Cem and Mount Plains Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research.

Water management is central to the area's layout, anchored by the Crozet Water Supply Reservoir and the private Cottonwood Farm Airport. The map details a transition from the dense residential grid of the town center to the sprawling agricultural tracts and hollows like Quick Hollow and Meadow Branch Hollow. Notable river systems like the Moormans River in the north and the North Hardware River to the south illustrate the intricate drainage patterns of this Albemarle County region.
