About this map

The James River carves a winding path through the heart of this Central Virginia landscape, serving as the historical dividing line between Amherst, Appomattox, and Campbell counties. The topography is defined by the river’s sharp bends near Joshua Falls and the Buzzard Islands, where the elevation rises steeply toward peaks like Galts Mill Mtn and Chestnut Mtn. This area reflects a long history of industry and settlement along the water, from the site of the Oxford Furnace to the milling operations at Brightwell Mill and Galts Mill.
