1977 Map of Keswick
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Keswick and the surrounding Albemarle County countryside are captured in this orthophotograph produced by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service. This specific 1977 aerial imagery provides a direct look at the agricultural patterns and wooded estates of the Southwest Mountains region during the late 1970s. The settlement of Cismont occupies a central position, while Stony Point and Cash Corner mark the rural crossroads that define the local geography north of the Mechunk Creek drainage. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this photo-rectified survey shows the precise extent of forest cover and field boundaries, making it an excellent resource for studying land use transitions in the Virginia Piedmont. The rail corridor passing through Cobham and Keswick remains a primary orienting feature across this landscape of rolling farms and historic hamlets.
