About this map

The Rockfish River carves a deep valley through the Piedmont, defining the boundary between Nelson and Albemarle Counties in the mid-1960s. The settlement of Schuyler serves as a focal point of local industry, featuring a prominent Quarry, Powerplant, and Water Tank situated along the riverbank. Transport and commerce are shaped by the Southern railroad and the Old Railroad Grade, which trace the winding watercourses and mountain gaps.

Upland ridges including Appleberry Mountain, Shiloh Mountain, and Green Mountain are dotted with numerous rural institutions. These include the Oak Ridge Sch and several country churches like Mt Shiloh Ch and Centenary Ch. The map also captures smaller communities such as Faber and Bungletown, alongside rail landmarks like Bolling Siding, providing a detailed look at the region's mid-century rural infrastructure and topographic character.
