The James River snakes through the borderlands of Buckingham, Nelson, and Albemarle counties, defining the character of this central Virginia landscape. Near the confluence with the Rockfish River, the settlement of Howardsville sits across from Avon Hill, marking a historic river crossing point. The topography is dominated by significant elevations such as Mt Alto and Horse Mtn, while the river valley itself is dotted with numerous islands including Buford Island, Sycamore Island, and Swift Island.
