About this map

The Slate River winds through the heart of this Virginia landscape, anchoring a rural community characterized by established family settlements and timbered tracts. The historic importance of water power and local industry is evident at Slate River Mills on the river’s northern reaches. Moving south, the terrain transitions into protected public lands, including the Appomattox Buckingham SF and the Appomattox-Swma, which surround the waters of Horsepen Lake.

Central to the county is the community of Buckingham, positioned along the junction of local routes like Va-638 and Va-631. Small crossroads and residential clusters such as Alcoma, Dentons Corner, and Enonville are connected by a network of secondary roads including Old Mill Rd and Slate River Mill Rd. This 2013 survey also captures aviation history at Wheatland Airport and reveals a local shifting of place names near the North River, where Old Mount Vinco, Mount Vinco, and New Mount Vinco trace the area's development over time.
