About this map

The James River corridor defines the geography of this central Virginia landscape, where several distinct communities sit along its banks and tributaries. Bremo Bluff and New Canton overlook the river near the John H Cocke Memorial Bridge, while the settlement of Arvonia serves as a central hub further inland. The map documents an industrial presence near the water, specifically the Solite Corporation Dam and industrial features like the New Ash Pond.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific family and community landmarks, including the Bettie Cemetery, Proffitt Cemetery, and Oak Hill Cemetery. The terrain is marked by numerous watercourses such as Bear Garden Creek and Slate River, which drain into the James. Unique landmarks like the Fork Union Military Academy Airport and the smaller settlements of LeSueur and Penlan provide a detailed look at the rural and institutional development of Buckingham County during the early 21st century.
