Charlottesville, Virginia, is shown here as a bird's-eye view, a style of town map that draws streets and buildings as if seen from above at an angle. The 1856 date places the town in the decades before the Civil War, when it was a small market and college community in the Piedmont, shaped by the University of Virginia that Thomas Jefferson founded on the edge of town. Maps like this were often commissioned to show the layout of a place, so the drawn streets and buildings are worth studying for how the town looked before the war.
