2019 Map of Gladstone

About this map

The James River carves a deep, winding path through the heart of this region, defining the boundaries between Nelson, Amherst, Buckingham, and Appomattox counties. This section of the river valley is marked by a series of small, riverside settlements and junctions like Gladstone, Caskie, and Greenway, which developed along the water's edge and the adjacent transportation corridors. To the north and south, the terrain rises sharply into prominent ridges and peaks, including Buffalo Ridge, Bible Ridge, and Buck Mtn, creating a landscape of narrow hollows such as Negro Den Hollow and Jack Wrights Hollow.
