2011 Map of Mountain Valley

About this map

Turkeycock Mountain and Little Mountain dominate this corner of Pittsylvania County, where the landscape is defined by the high ridges and the numerous watercourses that drain them. The network of family-named cemeteries, such as Lovell-Yeatts Cemetery and the Walker-Rigney Cemetery, points to generations of deep-rooted local history in settlements like Mountain Valley and Vashti. The area's early industrial and agricultural history is visible through landmarks like Swansons Mill and Hodges Mill, which utilized the flow of creeks like Turkeycock Creek and Grassy Fork. From the high vantage point of the Turkeycock Lookout Tower, the terrain unfolds toward the West Fork Sandy River, illustrating a pattern of development where small communities and family farms clustered along the winding valley roads and creek branches.
