About this map

Willis Mountain stands as a prominent landmark in this central Virginia landscape, overlooking the surrounding communities of Pleasant Valley and Curdsville. The area is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the winding Willis River and the Little Willis River, which drain the lowlands between Buckingham and Cumberland counties. The map reflects a deeply rooted rural geography where historic transit corridors like Stage Coach Rd and Old Curdsville Rd continue to shape local movement.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds across the quadrangle, such as Hubbard Cem near the northern boundary and Smyrna Cem in the southwestern settlement of Sheppards. The presence of Evans Mill Rd points to the area's earlier water-powered industrial past, while more modern developments are visible near the Willis Mountain Plant Ln at the foot of the mountain.
