1967 Map of Esmont

About this map

Green Mountain dominates the western landscape of this mid-1960s survey, rising above a network of small settlements and agricultural sites in Albemarle County. The James River forms the southern boundary, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railway follows the riverbank past Warren and Hatton. This era shows a community defined by its rural centers, such as Esmont and Keene, which were connected by a web of local roads and remnants of older infrastructure like the Old Railroad Grade. Cultural landmarks are densely distributed, including the Yancy Sch and numerous community churches like St Stephens Ch and Mt Zion Ch. Near the eastern edge, the town of Scottsville serves as a primary hub, while industrial activity is represented by a Quarry located along Rock Castle Creek. The map provides a look at the Piedmont region before modern suburbanization, where topographic details record every creek and farm boundary.
