1967 Map of Scottsville

About this map

The James River carves a dramatic path through this central Virginia landscape, creating the prominent Horseshoe Bend and Muleshoe Bend where the boundaries of Albemarle, Fluvanna, and Buckingham counties converge. The town of Scottsville serves as the focal point, situated at a vital river bend where the Chesapeake and Ohio River railroad tracks follow the northern bank. This era shows a community rooted in its geographic advantages, featuring industry and infrastructure such as the Jefferson Mill on the Hardware River and several Quarrys near the riverbank.
