1935 Map of University

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

University of Virginia anchors the southeast corner of this mid-1930s landscape, just as the Shenandoah National Park was being established along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The map documents a rural society transitioning into the modern era, where the recently constructed Skyline Drive and the Appalachian Trail follow the high ridges once defined only by gaps like Browns Gap and Jarman Gap. In the valleys below, a dense network of country schools such as Mission Sch and Midway Sch serves small agricultural communities like Nortonsville, White Hall, and Free Union. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor facilitates the growth of towns like Crozet, while the Southern line passes the University grounds. This survey captures a moment when traditional landmarks like the Miller School and St Johns Mission coexisted with newer developments like the Farmington Country Club.
