About this map

Willis River drainage patterns define this part of the Piedmont, where the boundary between Buckingham and Cumberland counties follows the local ridges and watercourses. Small settlements and named crossroads like Hatcher, Nuckols, and Lawford are connected by a network of established routes including Trents Mill Rd and Petersville Rd. The area is characterized by numerous small tributaries such as Buck and Game Cr and Bear Garden Cr, which feed into larger bodies like Bear Creek Lake and Arrowhead Lake. For those researching family history in this rural Virginia landscape, the location of Cornerstone Cem near the western edge and the distribution of farm-to-market roads provide essential context for the late 20th and early 21st-century rural layout.
