The James River carves a deep path through this Virginia landscape, serving as the historical boundary for four counties: Nelson, Buckingham, Amherst, and Appomattox. The CSX railroad line traces the northern bank, connecting riverfront settlements like Gladstone, Caskie, and Buffalo Station. The region's geography is defined by a series of parallel ridges, including Buffalo Ridge, Sears Ridge, and Carter Ridge, which forced early settlement into the narrow hollows and river bends.
