About this map

The Appomattox River winds along the northern boundary of this landscape, separating Buckingham and Prince Edward Counties. Centered on the settlement of Prospect, the area is defined by a dense network of country roads like Co Rd 761 and Prospect Rd that connect rural communities and family landmarks. The map reveals the layout of Elam and Allens Mill, where the terrain begins to slope toward Grand View Lake and Brisentine Pond.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of local burial sites, including Prospect Cem, Little Rock Cem, and the Olive Branch Cem near the western edge. Notable water features like Vaughans Cr and Falling Cr feed into the river system, crossed by structures such as Venables Bridge. These smaller tributaries and unnamed farm ponds characterize the agricultural and woodland character of the Piedmont region south of Hurtsville.
