2018 Map of Virginia

About this map

Virginia serves as a central hub for this portion of Cass County, situated at the intersection of W State Rte 125 and Beardstown Rd. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Little Indian Cr and Prairie Cr, which carve through the surrounding farmland and wooded areas like Buck Hollow. For genealogists and local historians, this map is particularly valuable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, including John Epler Taylor Cem, Levi Springer Cem, and Walnut Ridge Cem. Small rural clusters such as Little Indian, Burlingame, and Old Princeton illustrate the dispersed nature of early settlement in the Illinois interior. The presence of Virginia Lake north of town provides a distinct water feature amidst the complex drainage patterns of Indian Run and its tributaries.
