2014 Map of Virginia

About this map

Virginia serves as the primary settlement within this western Bates County landscape, situated amidst a dense network of country roads and drainage basins. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Miami Cr, which receives tributaries like Knob Cr, Limestone Cr, and Bones Br. For family historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of local burial grounds, including the Virginia Cemetery, Howell Cemetery, and Park Cemetery. The area’s water resources are punctuated by Butler Lake and Welliver Lake, which sit among the section lines of Township 40 and 41 North. The road network, including Terry McGuire Blvd and Knights Rd, reflects a persistent rural infrastructure where named thoroughfares such as Hines Rd and Davenport Rd link the scattered farmsteads and agricultural plots of this Missouri prairie region.
