About this map

The Banister River and Sandy River define the undulating landscape of western Pittsylvania County. This 2016 survey highlights a series of rural crossroads and historic clusters, including the settlement of Callands and the naming of Hollys Mill. The terrain is marked by prominent ridges like Brier Mtn and the branching drainage systems of Tomahawk Cr and Wet Sleeve Cr.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate specific family landmarks such as the Gregory Cem and explore the network of rural routes connecting small communities like Worlds, Rondo, and Banister. The presence of Burton Lake in the north adds to the varied hydrography of the region, illustrating the long-standing relationship between these Piedmont watercourses and the small-scale agricultural and milling sites that established the area's early economy.
