About this map

Tobacco Row Mtn High Peak dominates this landscape in Amherst County, where the topography transitions from the higher elevations of Love Lady Mtn and Gun Mtn toward the southern boundary along the James River. Small settlements such as Elon, Agricola, and Pleasant View are connected by a network of winding roads, including the Buffalo Springs Tpke, which traces the contours of the land.

Genealogists and local historians will find several family-named burial sites across the terrain, including Saint Pauls Cem, Gatewood Cem, and Watts Cem. The map detail captures the intersection of water and transport at Pedlar Mills and the industrial activity near Monroe. This 2016 survey reflects the modern rural character of the area, preserving the names of ridges like Buffalo Spur and gaps such as Pedlar Gap and Camden Gap.
