2022 Map of Keswick

About this map

The Southwest Mountains anchor this landscape, where the ridges of Hightop and Broadhead Mtn descend into the fertile basins of Mechunk Cr and Turkey Run. This area of eastern Albemarle County is defined by a dense network of large landholdings and farm estates, such as the prominent Castle Hill landmark and the Cobham Park grounds near the settlement of Cobham. Local history is deeply embedded in the many small congregational and family burial sites scattered across the terrain, including the Grace Episcopal Church Cem at Cismont and the Shackelford Family Cem near Stony Point. The map illustrates a rural economy transitioning toward modern residential patterns while maintaining its traditional identity through places like Keswick and Rugby, where old road names like Gordonville Rd and Louisa Rd follow long-established transit corridors.
