2015 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

Mount Vernon serves as the central hub of this 2015 study, illustrating a landscape defined by its historical cemeteries and the convergence of several major regional drainage systems. The city's growth is framed by the Casey Fork to the east and the winding course of the Big Muddy River to the west. A notable density of burial grounds, including Oakwood Cem, Old Union Cem, and Saint Marys Cem, provides a detailed record of local genealogy and early church settlements. Outside the urban core, smaller communities such as Drivers, Morganville, and Marcoe maintain their distinct positions near tributaries like Harper Cr and Pierce Cr. The map also details water features like Peckerwood Lake and Hawthorne Hills Lake, alongside the modern transportation corridors that have reshaped the outskirts of this Jefferson County seat.
