About this map

Guinea Mills and Cotton Town serve as central points in this landscape of rural crossroads and managed waterways in Cumberland County. The hydrology of the region is defined by the winding path of the Willis River and its numerous tributaries, including Little Guinea Creek and Horsepen Creek. A significant number of small dams and reservoirs, such as Ca Ira Dam and Bish Dam, suggest a history of water management for local agriculture or industry. Local genealogy is well-represented by several family and community landmarks, including Antioch Cemetery, Browns Cemetery, and the Guinea Cemetery located near the junction of Guinea Rd. Further south, the map identifies small residential pockets like McRae and Hawk, while family-named features like T Edward Stimpson Pond and Collins Lake highlight the private land ownership patterns that characterize this part of Virginia.
