The James River carves a dramatic oxbow through the heart of this landscape, separating Amherst County from Campbell County. Along its banks, the industrial and transport history of the region is evident in the parallel paths of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads. Smaller rural centers like Wright Shop and Amelon contrast with the growing suburban character of Madison Heights, where a Drive-in Theater and Randolph Mem Sch reflect mid-century community life.
