2017 Map of Virgil

About this map

Virgil serves as the central settlement in this portion of Beadle County, characterized by the expansive prairie landscape of the James River Valley. The area is defined by a grid of agricultural section lines, including Co Rd 20 and 389th Ave, which connect the town to surrounding homesteads and regional markets. Water management and drainage are prominent features of the terrain, as seen in the winding course of Cain Creek and the marshy depression of Norwegian Slough in the northwest. For those researching local family history, the Virgil Cem located just southeast of the main townsite provides a vital genealogical link to the early families who settled this Beadle County township during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
