The Montclair streams that disappeared from county maps are shown in blue, and with Albemarle’s 100-foot buffer on each side, would have made much of the smaller five-acre parcel unbuildable. The red line shows a stream that was undergrounded in the ’90s. Segment 1, shown in green, was piped in summer 2021. Photo: Albemarle County.
