1961 Map of Buckingham

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The James River meanders across the northwest corner of this Piedmont landscape, defining the borders between Buckingham, Nelson, and Albemarle counties. Along its banks, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor follows the path of the former Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, passing through riverfront settlements like Howardsville and Wingina. Inland, the terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses including the Slate River and Troublesome Creek, which supported early industry at sites like Slate River Mills. Rural life in the early 1960s is centered around numerous country churches and schools such as Jerusalem Ch and Union Grove Sch. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Lee Experimental Forest and the county seat of Buckingham, which serves as a central hub for the surrounding crossroads communities of Mt Rush and Dentons Corner.
