About this map

El Dorado Springs anchors the northern edge of this survey, where the town grid meets the rolling drainages of Clear Creek and Walnut Creek. The landscape reflects a transition from organized town life to the rural hinterlands of the Virgil, Box, and Montevallo townships. To the south, Virgil City sits along the Vernon and Cedar County line, serving as a quiet focal point for local genealogists with its namesake Virgil City Cemetery.

The map reveals a network of country churches and small burial grounds that define the community's history, such as Sulphur Springs Church and the Clintonville Cemetery. Industry and infrastructure appear through a Quarry near the northern border and a Pipeline cutting diagonally across the terrain. Waterways like Little Alder Creek and Baker Creek create a complex branching pattern throughout the southern sections, illustrating the natural drainage that dictated early settlement and land use before the expansion of the El Dorado Springs Memorial Airport.
