About this map

The James River snakes through the center of this Virginia landscape, punctuated by Buzzard Islands and Feagans Island. Along its banks, the river's industrial and social history is visible through features like Joshua Falls, the Ninemile Bridge, and the site of the Oxford Furnace. To the north, the terrain rises toward Galts Mill Mountain and Round Mountain, while the residential expansion of Madison Heights and Lynchburg presses in from the southwest. This area is particularly dense with genealogical markers, from family and church burial grounds like Megginson Cemetery, Grace Cemetery, and Beth Joseph Agudath Sholom Cemetery to historic community hubs such as Wright Shop, Galts Mill, and Colony. The network of creeks including Stovall Creek and Archer Creek defines the local drainage, supporting old mill sites like Brightwell Mill that once anchored the rural economy of Amherst County.
