About this map

Mount Vernon serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s landscape, positioned at a vital junction of the ST Louis Southwestern railroad and regional roadways. The town’s social and civic infrastructure is clearly visible, featuring a concentrated grid that includes a County Hospital, Athletic Field, and an unnamed Cemetery. This layout reflects a period of established local government and utility expansion, evidenced by the Filtration Plant and the nearby Mount Vernon Municipal Reservoir.

Outside the central town, the countryside is defined by a network of rural congregations and small settlements like Parchman. The map documents numerous landmarks essential for genealogical research, including Denton Sch, Grayrock Cem, and several country churches such as Prairie Grove Ch and Glade Springs Ch. Waterways like Ripley Creek and Blundell Creek drain the area toward the eastern boundary near the Franklin Co and Titus Co line, while local industry is represented by a Sandpit and a prominent Pipeline.
