Hotchkiss's map of Albemarle County covers the Virginia Piedmont county where Thomas Jefferson built Monticello and, in 1819, founded the University of Virginia. Jedediah Hotchkiss, a Staunton mapmaker who had worked as a topographical engineer for the Confederate army, drew this colored manuscript around 1867, when Virginia was rebuilding after the Civil War. Its hand-colored detail records the county's roads, waterways and boundaries. It is worth noticing how a map of the working landscape carries the name and legacy of the county's most famous resident.
