1983 Map of Virden North

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The agricultural plains of the Sangamon and Macoupin county line are defined by a dense network of transit and small-town industry in this early 1980s provisional study. Virden and Auburn serve as the primary hubs, connected by a significant corridor of railroads including the Illinois Central Gulf and the Chicago and North Western. This era shows the region's coal mining heritage through the presence of a Mine Shaft near Thayer, while the landscape is dotted with private aviation markers like the McNaught Landing Strip and Weber Landing Strip. Drainage patterns from Sugar Creek and Panther Creek cut through the organized grid of townships such as Talkington and North Otter. Local genealogy is well-represented by the Virden Cem and West Cem, providing vital landmarks for family researchers in these prairie communities.
