1972 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

Lodgepole Creek and the Union Pacific railroad corridor define the southern landscape of this Deuel County region in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a transition between the irrigated valley floor and the upland tablelands, where the small settlement of Mount Vernon and the locality of Isley represent the area's sparse population centers. Transportation and infrastructure are central to the geography here, with a Landing Strip and a modern Pipeline cutting across the northern sections, while a Radio Tower stands as a landmark on the eastern edge. Industrial activity is localized near the water, evidenced by a Gravel Pit and the convergence of Cow Cr with the main drainage. This survey provides a clear view of the high plains agricultural layout, including detailed fence and field lines that mark the division of ranching and farming lands during this era.
