2016 Map of Buckingham

About this map

Buckingham Courthouse serves as the central hub of this Piedmont landscape, situated where local routes converge amidst a complex network of creeks and branches. The settlement patterns of central Virginia are visible in the clusters around Alcoma, Mount Rush, and Mount Vinco, connected by historic corridors like Slate River Mill Rd and Mulberry Grove Rd. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Slate River and its numerous tributaries, including Ripley Cr and Troublesome Cr. Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded, such as Trinity Cem and Fork Union Cem. The presence of Wheatland Airport and Horesepen Lake provides modern landmarks within a region that maintains its traditional rural character, characterized by large plantations and scattered small-scale agriculture.
