1940 Map of Mount Vernon
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Mount Vernon serves as the central hub of this Grant County landscape, situated where the John Day River flows through the valley. The map documents a rural economy transitioning from early resource extraction to established ranching, evidenced by family holdings such as the Fletcher Ranch and Koehler Ranch. While mining activity is noted at the Cinnabar Mine and the abandoned Silvers Mine, the presence of the Belshaw Sch and Luce Sch indicates a community settled enough to support local education districts.
