Willis Mountain rises sharply from the Piedmont floor, dominating a landscape defined by the winding course of the Willis River and its numerous tributaries. In the late 1960s, this portion of Buckingham County remained primarily rural, characterized by small crossroads settlements like Curdsville and Sheppards. The presence of a prominent Mine and an Industrial Waste Pond near the northern ridge of the mountain indicates the area's ongoing mineral extraction economy, overseen by the Virginia Division of Mineral Resources.
