Virginia, officially the Commonwealth of Virginia, is a state in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States located between the Atlantic Coast and the Appalachian Mountains. Virginia is nicknamed the "Old Dominion" due to its status as the first English colonial possession established in mainland North America and "Mother of Presidents" because eight U.S. presidents were born there, more than any other state. The geography and climate of the Commonwealth are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which provide habitat for much of its flora and fauna. The capital of the Commonwealth is Richmond; Virginia Beach is the most populous city, and Fairfax County is the most populous political subdivision. The Commonwealth's estimated population as of 2017 is over 8.4 million.

Arroll is an unincorporated community in southeast Texas County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. The community is located on Missouri Route W two miles north of the Jacks Fork River.The river can actually be accessed by driving south on Jacks Fork road to the “prongs” where the north and south fork meet up at the county bridge. Standing on the bridge facing the hogs back the north prong is on your right and the south prong is on the left. This is generally accepted as the last floatable put in on the Jacks Fork. The north and south prongs are navigable above this point only during rainy season and the property on the banks is privately owned so expect to encounter various “watergate” type fences. The only concrete dam on the Jacks Fork lies 3-4 miles west of Arroll on the apptly named Arroll road. It was used to generate electricity for the Gist/Kinard ranch years ago. The dam and concrete foundation of the generator house is still there but the house itself was swept away by a flood in the early eighties. Just below the bridge is a popular local swimming hole named “the rock”. Arroll presently has a non-denominational church and public cemetery with a community center built on the church grounds. The cemetery is the final resting place of many of the founding families who settled the area. Arroll had two stores at one time. The old store building just south of the church was last operated by the Ralph Bashor family and closed in the late 60’s. The other store laid west across W highway from the church. It was last run but the Brooks family in the 90’s and burnt soon after closing. Arroll had a k-8th grade school until the late sixties when it was merged into the Summersville school district. Houston rural and Wafford were other small one room schools located in the area. The Wafford schoolhouse has been gone for years though the concrete foundation is still present. It laid approximately 2 miles west of Arroll just southeast of the junction of Arroll road and Woolsey drive. The Houston Rural schoolhouse and cemetery is approximately 5 miles west of Arroll on the north side of Arroll road. It can be easily seen from the road even though it was converted into a house in the 90’s by a member of the Curnutt family. In 2017 it received another facelift after the surrounding land was purchased by another local (Woolsey) family.

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
