About this map

The Willis River and its numerous tributaries, including Brickyard Branch and Little Willis River, carve through the rolling timberlands of central Virginia. In the late 1960s, this landscape was defined by its managed woodlands, notably the Lee Experimental Forest in the north and a portion of the Appomattox-Buckingham State Forest to the west. Small agricultural communities such as Andersonville and New Store anchor the road network, which is sparsely populated but dotted with rural sanctuaries like Second Liberty Ch and Bethel Ch.

A southern boundary is established by the Appomattox River, where the borders of Buckingham, Appomattox, and Prince Edward counties converge near Woods Mountain. The presence of a prominent Pipeline corridor cutting across the topography reflects the modern infrastructure of the era, contrasting with the traditional settlement patterns at Enonville and Arcanum. Local genealogists will find several unnamed cemeteries marked near these historic crossroads and churches.
