1930 Map of Madison

About this map

Stanardsville and the surrounding Blue Ridge foothills are captured here during a period of transition as the federal government was establishing parklands in the late 1920s. A notable site of the era is The Presidents Camp on the Mill Prong, established for Herbert Hoover near the headwaters of the Rapidan River. The map shows a landscape defined by small mountain settlements like Criglersville, Graves Mill, and Syria, alongside numerous community hubs such as Mt Olivet Ch and Hales Store.
