About this map

The James River forms the southern boundary of this Albemarle County landscape, where the historic Hattons Ferry provides a rare river-crossing point near Hatton. This 2010 survey shows a region defined by agricultural estates and small crossroads settlements such as Esmont, Keene, and Scottsville. The landscape is dotted with family-named holdings and rural infrastructure, including the Keene Post Office, Dawson Mill, and various ponds like Allmans Pond and Stillfried Pond.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the Van Clief Family Cemetery to larger parish sites like Christ Church Cemetery and Saint Stephens Cemetery. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Green Mountain in the northwest down toward the Totier Hills and the alluvial flats of Goosby Island. The presence of several dams, such as Vanclieffs Dam and Totier Creek Dam, highlights the managed water resources central to these rural Virginia communities.
