About this map

Simeon lies at the heart of this landscape, situated along the Thomas Jefferson Pkwy south of Rivanna. The terrain is defined by the significant rise of Carters Mtn and Patterson Mtn, which frame a complex network of watercourses including Buck Island Creek and Lee Jones Cr. This region reflects a deeply established rural pattern, where small settlements like Overton and Blenheim are anchored by family and community landmarks.

Several historic burying grounds are scattered across the hills, including Slate Hill Cem, Ash Lawn Cem, and Wake Forest Cem. The map documents the persistent agricultural character of the area through named farms such as Tufton Farm and Somerset Farm, while the winding Rivanna River provides a natural boundary to the northeast. The presence of Olympic Lake and various ridges like Gobblers Ridge illustrate a landscape where topography has long dictated the path of travel and settlement.
