2012 Map of Vilas

About this map

Vilas stands as the primary settlement in this section of Wilson County, situated at the junction of several section-line roads. The landscape is defined by the drainage network of Village Cr, which winds through the central territory, joined by tributaries like Woodruff Br and Elder Br. A distinct pattern of rural community centers is evident through the distribution of cemeteries, which often mark the locations of former pioneer church sites or small neighborhood clusters. These include Vilas Bethel Cem near the town center and more outlying sites such as Swede Center Cem, Colfax Cem, and Zion Cem. The grid-like road system, featuring named routes like Arizona Rd and Alabama Rd, reflects the structured agricultural development typical of the Kansas plains.
