A good source for historic boundaries in the Albemarle area is
_Historical Boundary Atlas of Central Virginia_, by Eric G. Grundset
(Fairfax, Va.: Author, 1999). It includes the counties of Albemarle,
Amherst, Appomattox, Buckingham, Cumberland, Fluvanna, Goochland,
Louisa, Nelson and Powhatan Counties, as well as their parent counties
Henrico, New Kent. Map 4 shows the "western reaches of Hanover County".
It shows the southern boundary of Hanover (1728) as crossing Fluvanna
River between Moores Creek and Meadow Creek and going west from there.
That western area became Louisa County in 1742 (Fredericksville Parish,
see maps 5-7), and was transferred to Albemarle County in 1761 (Map 8).

Subject: Location of old Hanover County line in modern Albemarle County
Hello all,
I'm trying to locate the path of the old Hanover County line in modern
day western Albemarle County, specifically as it passed through what is
called the Brown's Cove area (just north of Crozet). Has anyone done any
research on this subject? I'm doing research on a 1739/40 patent in that
area.
Thanks in advance,
