1967 Map of Simeon

About this map

Carters Mountain and Patterson Mountain anchor this Piedmont landscape, which is defined by its deep historical associations and rural settlement patterns. The map highlights significant estates such as Ash Lawn and Simeon, alongside small community hubs like Overton and Blenheim. Religious life is well-documented through a series of country churches including New Bethel Ch, Mt Eagle Ch, and Middle Oak Ch. The Rivanna River cuts through the northeast, joined by a dense network of tributaries including Buck Island Creek and Henderson Creek. Industrial activity is noted at a Quarry near Slate Creek, while modern infrastructure appears in the form of pipelines and the University of Virginia Airport. The transition across the Albemarle and Fluvanna county line reveals a landscape of wooded ridges and small-scale farming as it existed in the mid-1960s and 1970s.
