About this map

Palmyra serves as the focal point for this rural landscape along the Rivanna River, where the Pembroke Petit Bridge crosses the water. The area is defined by a network of small settlements and crossroad communities such as Central Plains, Cohasset, and Kidds Store. In the southern reaches, Fork Union and Weber City anchor the map near the drainages of North Cr and Judy Cr.

The terrain is marked by significant rises like Mountain Hill and Little Mountain Hill, which divide the various forks of Cunningham Cr. Local infrastructure is captured through named thoroughfares like Sclaters Ford Rd, Shiloh Church Rd, and Bethel Church Rd, reflecting the historical importance of river crossings and community gathering places. From the northern bend at Cunningham to the eastern edge at Rockaway, the map documents the persistent rural character of Fluvanna County in the early twenty-first century.
