TwitterThis dataset shows locations of historical interest within Albemarle County, Virginia. It is designed as an aid to researchers as well as a resource for community members to better understand their local history. This dataset was compiled by Faded Contours from public records and other publicly available sources such as books, websites, and historical records. All information is believed to be correct however this is a working dataset and accuracy is not guaranteed.This dataset can be viewed with other historical layers here: https://www.fadedcontours.com/mapFeatures have the following attributes:Feature Type: A use category that describes the function of the feature. Examples include Dwelling, Mill, Church, etc. If the current usage differs from the historical usage (for example a school that is now a house) the historical usage is captured.Existence Status: Whether the feature still exists, has been removed, or this information is unknown.Built Year: The approximate year of construction. This is typically based on public real estate information from Albemarle County.Removal Year: The year a feature was removed, when known.Name: The name of the location or property. Typically based on real estate information, historical county maps, or second hand sources such as books or websites.Historical Map Labels: The label if a feature is present on one of four historical maps of Albemarle County.Reference Links: Links to additional information, when available.

TwitterThis dataset shows historical roads in Albemarle County, Virginia. Current road data from the OpenStreetMap database was used a starting point and compared to historical maps from 1864, 1867, 1875, and 1907 to identify historical roads. Features were also compared to historical aerial imagery from 1937 and 1955 provided by the University of Virginia to identify where the road bed has been adjusted in modern times. Roads that no longer exist, and thus were not present in the OSM database, were mapped using LiDAR data from the Virginia Geographic Information Network.Roads were divided into three category types:Road: Indicates the feature is still a current road in useRoad Trace / Road Path: In most cases these are road traces visible in the LiDAR data. In some limited cases the historical road bed is no longer present however the likely path of the road is obvious.Possible Road Path: These are features identified on a historical map but for which no trace is visible on LiDAR or current and historical imagery. These features represent a possible path based on the terrain. They can be thought of as "place holders" indicating that a road ran through a general area.Attributes are also included indicating if a feature is present on four historical maps:Campbell/Gilmer's 1864 mapHotchkiss' 1867 mapPeyton's 1875 mapMassie's 1907 mapDue to the inherent challenges in mapping features that no longer exist, all historical features in this dataset should be considered approximate and evaluated before use in other research projects.This data can be viewed with other historical data layers in the Historical Albemarle webmap: https://www.fadedcontours.com/map/

TwitterThis feature layer describes the general location of 4 proposed utility-scale solar projects in Buckingham County, VA.Purpose:The layer shows generalized project boundaries, suitable for a county-wide project location map.Source & Date:Parcel data for individual projects in Buckingham County were obtained from the following Public Hearing notices concerning Special Use Permit applications submitted to the Buckingham County Board of Supervisors.Riverstone Solar – February 28, 2022Pineside Solar – June 27, 2022Blue Rock Solar – November 14. 2023Mountain Pine Arvonia – January 8, 2024Parcel identification data for the Hecate Energy Cumberland Solar project was obtained from a table of landowners submitted as part of the project's Conditional Use Permit. Actual parcel data was extracted from the Virginia Geographic Information Network's (VGIN) parcel REST Service. Acreages for Cumberland County parcels were recorded manually from Cumberland County's online GIS.Parcel data for the Woodridge Solar project in Albemarle County was extracted from the Albemarle County Current Parcels data package, downloaded on Feb 27, 2024.Processing:Graphic rectangles were drawn in ArcMap around the groups of parcels hosting the projects. These graphic polygons were converted to a shapefile. Data was manually entered, based on the project and it's related attributes. The shapefile was zipped and uploaded to ArcGIS Online, and published as a feature layer.Symbology:Project locations are represented by hollow rectangles with red outlines.
