About this map

Willis Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in this portion of Buckingham County, overlooking a landscape defined by the winding course of the Willis River and its numerous tributaries. The settlement of Curdsville serves as a central point in the southern part of the map, while Pleasant Valley and Sheppards anchor the northern and western sections, respectively. This 2010 survey highlights a rural geography where local history is preserved in sites like Smyrna Cemetery, Mount Nebo Cemetery, and Hubbard Cemetery.

Water management is evident at the Willis River Number Four Dam, which influences the flow near Cattail Creek. The network of small waterways, including Tongue Quarter Creek, Nelson Fork, and Gills Creek, illustrates the complex drainage patterns that have shaped land use and property boundaries in this part of Virginia for generations. Transportation is facilitated by established routes such as Plank Rd and Dobsons Bridge, connecting these small communities across the Little Willis River.
