About The Maps
Three Virginia county maps are available: Albemarle, Amherst and Nelson, spanning the 18th century.

Each map comes with an alphabetical listing of the patentees or grantees shown thereon.
Limited editions, printed on beautiful, acid-free stock. Available in two sizes. All prints sold unframed. The prints are made from hand drawn originals.
