Madison Heights

Built around the U.S. Route 29 corridor, Madison Heights grew into an unincorporated residential and commercial community in Amherst County. It occupies the north bank of the James River opposite Lynchburg, where the Virginia Piedmont rises toward the Blue Ridge Mountains. The area is a practical base for reaching Lynchburg’s historic downtown, museums and colleges; across the river, the city developed as a tobacco-trading and railroad centre in the 19th century. Madison Heights is defined less by a formal town core than by everyday local services and river-valley connections.
