2019 Map of Lakeside Village

About this map

James River frontage and the confluence of the Willis River define this rural Piedmont landscape at the junction of Fluvanna, Goochland, Cumberland, and Buckingham counties. The terrain is characterized by a series of river islands, including Boatwrights Island, Spicers Island, and the larger Elk Island to the northeast. Settlement is concentrated in small crossroads communities like Lakeside Village, Hamilton, and Cloverdale, where the landscape transitions from river bottomlands to the wooded ridges above Big Cattail Creek and Snawquarter Cr. Genealogists will find several family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Harrison Cem, Cochran Cem, and Little Fork Cem. The network of local routes like Columbia Rd and River Rd W connects these upland farms and residences to the water-oriented economy that has long shaped this portion of Central Virginia.
