2016 Map of Glasgow

About this map

The confluence of the Maury River and James River anchors this study of Rockbridge County, where the settlement of Glasgow serves as a focal point at the base of Sallings Mtn. This landscape is defined by its deep historical roots and topographic transitions, featuring numerous burial grounds like Falling Spring Cem and the Salling Family Cem that offer significant value for genealogical research. The river systems are central to the area's development, bridged by the B G Locher Bridge and passing through the dramatic Balcony Falls. Small communities such as Buffalo Forge and Mechanicsville are scattered across the terrain, while the heights of the Blue Ridge and Three Sisters Knobs overlook the George Washington National Forest. The proximity of landmarks like the Twin River Airport and the crossing into Amherst Co reflects a region where traditional river-valley settlements meet protected timberlands.
