About this map

Patterson Mtn and Carters Mtn dominate the western horizon of this Albemarle County landscape, where the topography drops away toward the Rivanna River in the northeast. The settlement pattern is defined by historic estates and rural clusters, including Simeon, Overton, and Blenheim. Numerous family and community burial grounds are mapped here, such as Ash Lawn Cem and Wake Forest Cem, providing valuable data for genealogists tracing local lineages.

The southeastern portion of the map crosses into Fluvanna County, marked by the Fluvanna Ruritan Lake and the settlement of Woodridge. Waterways like Buck Island Creek and Turkey Run thread through a network of rural routes, including James Monroe Pkwy and Rolling Rd. This 2016 survey captures the area's transition from the elevated ridges of the Piedmont into the river-fed lowlands, preserving the names of local landmarks like Gobblers Ridge.
