1968 Map of Glenmore

About this map

Glenmore and the surrounding central Virginia countryside are defined by a dense network of watercourses and rural community landmarks. Located in Buckingham County, the landscape is deeply etched by Rock Island Creek, Fallsburg Creek, and Muddy Creek as they trend toward the James River. This late-1960s perspective reveals a territory rooted in small settlements like Axtell and Centenary, where social life centered on country churches such as Salem Ch, Emmanuel Ch, and Alexandria Ch. The map captures a moment when traditional rural infrastructure, including Paynes Millpond, coexisted with modern additions like the local Landing Strip and natural gas Pipelines. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history data in the numerous unnamed Cemeteries scattered across the uplands near Camm and Ransons.
