2019 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

Mount Vernon, the county seat of Franklin County, serves as the central hub for this Northeast Texas landscape. The town's grid is characterized by historically significant street names like Cottonbelt St, reflecting the deep ties to the region's agricultural and railroad heritage. To the northwest, the Franklin County Airport indicates the modern connectivity of the area, while the rural surroundings are defined by a network of creeks, including Bear Pen Cr, Ripley Cr, and Blundell Cr. Small bodies of water such as Lake Ione, Deal Lake, and Carpenter Lake dot the countryside, providing local landmarks. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documentation of remote burial sites such as Grayrock Cem and Fuquay Cem, which offer physical touchstones for the families that settled this portion of the Texas Blackland Prairies and post oak woodlands.
