About this map

Gladstone and the surrounding riverfront settlements along the James River define this Central Virginia landscape in the early 21st century. The map illustrates a distinctive pattern of small communities such as Caskie, Bent Creek, and Greenway that follow the river's winding course. This era shows a well-developed secondary road network, including the Tye Yard Ramp and Buffalo Station Dr, connecting these historic hamlets to the higher elevations of Pruetts Mountain and Buck Mountain.

Geographic landmarks like Smith Islands and family-named features such as Jack Wrights Hollow and Sears Ridge offer specific points of interest for local historians. The presence of Tower Hill in the southeast corner and the junction at Five Forks highlights the local topography and the intersections that have likely served as focal points for generations of Nelson County residents. The interplay between the river valley and the foothills is clearly delineated by the numerous tributaries, including Bent Cr and David Cr.
