1968 Map of Willis Mountain

About this map

Willis Mountain rises prominently over the Piedmont landscape of central Virginia, serving as a primary landmark in a region defined by the winding course of the Willis River and its numerous tributaries. This survey captures the rural character of Buckingham and Cumberland counties, where small settlements like Curdsville and Sheppards are connected by a network of country roads and local crossings such as Dobsons Bridge. The landscape is dotted with several traditional meeting houses, including Holy Trinity Ch, Ridgeway Ch, and Smyrna Ch, which often served as the social hearts of these small communities.
