About this map

Centenary and Glenmore anchor this section of central Virginia, where a dense network of local roads and watercourses defines the landscape. The geography is characterized by the branching drainages of Rock Island Cr and Little Rock Island Cr, which feed into the James River system just north of this sheet. Settlement patterns follow the ridgelines between these creeks, with small community centers like Axtell and Camm connected by historic routes such as Howardsville Rd and State Rte 740.

Cultural landmarks and family-named routes, such as Paynes Millpond and Jerusalem Church Rd, provide valuable touchpoints for genealogical research. The presence of numerous named roads like Sharon Church Rd and Gough Town Rd reflects the long-established rural community structure of Buckingham. To the southeast, near Ransons, the terrain levels as it approaches Muddy Cr, showing the transition from the upland creek valleys to the broader river plains.
