1967 Map of Scottsville

About this map

The James River forms a massive loop at Horseshoe Bend south of Scottsville, serving as the tri-county border for Albemarle, Fluvanna, and Buckingham. This mid-century landscape is defined by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor tracking the river's north bank, while the interior is dotted with rural landmarks like Jefferson Mill and Wesley Chapel. The eastern portion of the map highlights the winding course of the Hardware River and its confluence with the James, including the Muleshoe Bend and the Hardware River State Wildlife Management Area. Numerous small settlements and rural junctions like Antioch and Nicholas reflect the agricultural and timber character of the era, while a series of Quarrys near the town center point to local extractive industry.
