1969 Map of Gladstone

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The James River carves a dramatic S-curve through this Central Virginia landscape, serving as the definitive border between Nelson, Buckingham, and Appomattox counties. This late-1960s survey documents the river-oriented infrastructure of the era, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks hug the northern bank, connecting riverfront outposts like Buffalo Station and Greenway. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges including Buffalo Ridge and Pruetts Mountain, which overlook a network of narrow hollows and creeks. Local life centers on rural crossroads and small riverside communities such as Gladstone, which features the Gladstone Sch and proximity to the Smith Islands. Farther inland, the map captures a series of family-named landmarks and spiritual centers, from the Mineral Springs Ch near Five Forks to the Maple Grove Ch situated near the mouth of Bent Creek.
