About this map

Monument Terrace and the historic hilltop neighborhoods define the urban landscape of this 2013 survey, where the James River carves a path through the heart of the city. The map reveals a dense network of distinct residential and civic districts, from the prominent Court House Hill and Federal Hill to the academic environment around College Hill. The presence of the College Hill Reservoir and the Elon Water Works Reservoir highlights the critical infrastructure supporting the community's growth.

Industrial and transport history is visible in features like the Jefferson Street Tunnel and the Carter Glass Bridge, which connect the riverfront to the expanding suburbs. Cultural landmarks such as the Mabel K Whiteside Amphitheatre and several islands including Percivals Island and Daniel Island suggest the integration of public recreation and natural space within the city limits. Smaller outlying settlements like Lavino Village and Reusens indicate the historical footprint of early twentieth-century industry and housing along the river's bends.
