About this map

Appomattox-Buckingham State Forest dominates this Central Virginia landscape, illustrating a heavily wooded region defined by its conservation history and timber management. The map details the transition between Buckingham and Appomattox Counties, centered on the recreational and environmental hub of Holiday Lake State Park. Along the Slate River and the upper reaches of the Appomattox River, the terrain rises toward local landmarks like Kyles Mtn and Gunner Mtn.

Settlement patterns are concentrated in small rural clusters such as Toga, Sliders, and Hollywood. Local community life is evidenced by numerous country churches and cemeteries, including Union Ch, Pleasant Grove Ch, and Bethlehem Ch. The network of Jeep Trails and Restricted Roads winding through the forest indicates a landscape managed for both public forestry and secluded rural residency during the late 1960s and early 1980s.
