The Sand River
The river loops across the town area in slow meanders. Its line is the one natural curve in a plan that is otherwise made of straight roads and planned blocks.

The map
About this Virginia map poster
Virginia sits on the level plains of the northern Free State, where the Sand River winds through a landscape shaped by gold mining. From above, the town looks like several pieces placed side by side. Residential suburbs, broad roads and open ground are spaced apart, and the lines of mine property and the river run between them.
The town grew around the goldfields of the mid-twentieth century and still shares that story with nearby Welkom. On a map this history shows in the layout. Streets were planned in blocks rather than grown from an old core. Wide gaps separate the neighbourhoods, and service roads reach out towards the old shafts and works on the edge of town.
A Virginia map poster makes that planned, spread-out form easy to read. The river's loops add the only soft curves to a composition that is otherwise made of straight roads and rectangular suburbs. In monochrome, the empty veld around the town matters as much as the streets. It gives the plan room and shows how the town sits on the open plain.

Separate suburbs
The residential areas sit as distinct clusters with open land between them. This is a typical mining-town pattern, and it gives the map several centres instead of one.
Goldfields setting
Roads and rail lines run out towards the mining land around the town. They are a reminder that Virginia was laid out to serve the gold reefs under the plain.
