2022 Map of Stonewall

About this map

The James River winds through this central Virginia landscape, carving a boundary between Amherst and Appomattox counties while passing Pettyjohn Island. The settlement pattern centers on small communities like Beckham and Stapleton, with Stonewall Mills and Stonewall anchoring the interior. Local family history is preserved at the Mount Zion Baptist Church Cem and Rebecca Cem, which lie tucked among the many ridges and drainage basins of Wreck Island Cr and Stonewall Cr. The terrain is defined by elevations like Turner Mtn and Paradise Hill, while the Skovhus Airport provides a modern navigational landmark amidst the rural network of secondary roads such as Galts Mill Rd and Walkers Ford Rd. This area reflects the enduring geography of the Virginia Piedmont, where small-scale settlements and family-named landmarks follow the contours of the river and its tributaries.
