These are great maps for working on our home school projects. Is there a .pdf copy of the Virginia county map like there is for the other states?
Sorry, we don’t have PDFs. But I can point you to another resource with maps for each Virginia county and independent city – https://uscountymaps.com/virginia-county-map/
