1965 Map of Earlysville

About this map

Earlysville and Advance Mills anchor this mid-1960s study of the Piedmont landscape where the North Fork Rivanna River carves through the foothills of the Blue Ridge. The terrain is defined by the prominent heights of Piney Mountain and Frays Mountain, while the lowlands show the expansion of regional infrastructure through the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport. Rural community life is densely documented through numerous country churches, including Buck Mountain Ch, Mt Zion Ch, and Spring Hill Ch, along with the Broadus Wood Sch. The map reveals a transition in transportation and land use, from the traditional corridor of the Southern railroad and historic routes like Carpenter Mill Road to mid-century leisure markers such as a Drive-in Theater near Midway. Numerous family cemeteries are scattered across the Greene and Albemarle county line, providing significant data for genealogical research.
