1961 Map of Virginia

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Virginia serves as the primary settlement in this section of Bates County, anchoring a landscape defined by the drainage of Miami Creek and its various tributaries like Bones Branch. The area is characterized by a strong civic infrastructure of the early 1960s, evidenced by a high density of rural meeting places including Pleasant Valley Community Hall, Mount Vernon Community Hall, and Wilcox Community Hall. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as Howell Cem and Park Cem, alongside the Virginia Cem near the town center. The presence of Butler Lake and a Pumping Station suggests a managed water system for the surrounding agricultural townships of Elkhart, Charlotte, and Mount Pleasant. This survey captures the transition of rural life before further consolidation, preserving the locations of the Baptist Ch and the Tygard Sch.
