1998 Map of Virden North

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Virden and Auburn anchor the landscape of this Central Illinois region, illustrating a corridor of prairie settlements defined by rail and agriculture. The presence of a Shaft and an Abandoned Railroad near Thayer points to the coal mining legacy that once fueled the growth of these communities along the Sangamon and Macoupin county line. While the towns themselves show established residential grids, including features like the High Sch and Virden Cemetery, the surrounding countryside is marked by numerous small aviation facilities such as McNaught Landing Strip and Weber Landing Strip. Drainage across the level terrain is provided by several watercourses including Panther Creek, Johns Creek, and Sugar Creek, which carve subtle valleys into the productive farmland. The smaller settlement of Lowder remains a distinct rural pocket in Talkington township, connected to the larger hubs by a network of section-line roads.
