About this map

Guinea Mills and Cotton Town anchor this rural landscape in Cumberland County, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of the Willis River and its numerous tributaries. The area's agricultural and local heritage is preserved through several family and community burial grounds, including Antioch Cem, Browns Cem, and Guinea Cem. The map reveals a network of country roads like Cumberland Rd and Holman Mill Rd that connect small settlements such as Hawk and McRae. Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the uniquely named Tear Wallet Cr to established landmarks like Oak Hill Lake and the T Edward Stimpson Pond. This survey provides a clear view of the Piedmont's woodland-and-creek geography before modern development, noting natural features like Willis Bluff alongside the enduring infrastructure of central Virginia.
