Drawn by hand and colored, this map of Albemarle County covers the Piedmont country where Thomas Jefferson built Monticello and founded the University of Virginia. Its maker, Jedediah Hotchkiss, was a topographer from Staunton who had mapped terrain for Confederate forces during the Civil War. Dating to about 1867, the manuscript records the county's landscape in the years just after that conflict, and it remains useful to anyone studying Virginia's geography and settlement.
