2019 Map of Esmont

About this map

The James River forms a major geographic boundary along the southern edge of this region, separating Albemarle and Buckingham counties and defining the local agricultural landscape. This survey documents a cluster of small settlements and family farms, including Esmont, Porters, and Keene, which are connected by a network of rural roads like Irish Rd and Scottsville Rd. Genealogy researchers will find several notable burial sites such as the Vani Clief Family Cem and the Christ Church Cem near Glendower. The terrain is characterized by the prominent rise of Green Mtn and numerous small watercourses like Ballinger Cr and Rock Castle Cr that feed into the river. Landmarks such as Grayson Airport and the riverside landing at Hatton highlight the mix of aviation and traditional river-valley infrastructure remaining in the late 2010s.
