2011 Map of Pittsville

About this map

Pittsville and the surrounding crossroads of Pittsylvania County represent a rural Virginia landscape defined by long-standing family settlements and the complex drainage of the Roanoke River watershed. Small communities like Redeye, Toshes, and Climax are connected by a network of local routes including Pittsville Rd and Anderson Mill Rd, reflecting the area's agricultural and milling history. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features such as Whitethorn Creek and Cherrystone Creek, while Farmers Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in the northeast. This 2011 survey captures the distribution of rural homesteads and named locales like Walkers Well and Whittles before the continued modernization of the Piedmont region. Local history is etched into the road names themselves, with Tucks Cemetery Rd pointing toward genealogical sites, and Shelhorse Dam indicating early water management in the creek systems.
