About this map

The Willis River and its varied tributaries, including the curiously named Tear Wallet Cr and Big Guinea Cr, define the rural landscape of central Virginia near the Buckingham and Cumberland county line. Small settlements and crossroads such as Guinea Mills, Cotton Town, and McRae are scattered throughout the wooded terrain, connected by a network of rural routes like Ca Ira Rd and Tarwallet Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks, including the Antioch Cem near Hawk and the isolated Browns Cem further south. The hydrography of the area is particularly dense, with small bodies of water like Collins Lake and T Edward Stimpson Pond punctuating the drainage basins. This map reflects a region where traditional land patterns and watercourses continue to shape the local geography long after the establishment of historic county boundaries.
