About this map

Green Mtn dominates the northwestern landscape of this Albemarle County survey, where small rural communities like Esmont and Porters are situated along the lower slopes. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the numerous named estates and working lands such as Plain Dealing Farm, Liberty Corner Farm, and Greenfield Farm. Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial sites, including the Van Clief Family Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Christ Church Cem near Glendower.

The southern edge of the quadrangle follows the winding course of the James River, which serves as the boundary between Albemarle Co and Buckingham Co. Small riverfront settlements like Warren and Hatton reflect the historical importance of the waterway. Notable landmarks such as Grayson Airport and the Totier Cr Reservoir punctuate the drainage basins of Totier Creek and Ballinger Cr, illustrating the mix of traditional land use and modern infrastructure in the Virginia Piedmont.
