2019 Map of Willis Mountain

About this map

Willis Mtn rises as a prominent landmark in this central Virginia landscape, anchoring a region defined by the winding paths of the Willis River and the Little Willis River. Small settlements such as Curdsville, Pleasant Valley, and Sheppards are scattered across the terrain, connected by historical corridors like Plank Rd and Old Curdsville Rd. This mapping of the Buckingham County and Cumberland County border area reveals a deep-rooted rural character, where family and community history is preserved at Smyrna Cem, Mount Nebo Cem, and Salem Cem. The drainage patterns of Tongue Quarter Cr and Cattail Cr illustrate the complex watershed that has shaped local agriculture and land use for generations. This 2019 data provides a contemporary view of these longstanding Piedmont communities and their natural boundaries.
