About this map

Mount Vernon serves as the central hub of this modern survey, where established residential grids meet a complex network of interstate and local roads. The landscape is defined by its water management and cemeteries, featuring the large Louisville and Nashville Reservoir and numerous smaller bodies like Peckerwood Lake and Hawthorne Hills Lake. These reservoirs and the Big Muddy River provide a stark contrast to the surrounding agricultural and industrial zones that extend toward peripheral settlements like Drivers and Bakerville.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the cluster of burial grounds, including the historic Old Shiloh Cem and Saint Marys Cem. The transport patterns are particularly notable, showing the legacy of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad as it interfaces with the expansion of Mount Vernon, illustrating how the city has evolved around its transit corridors and the natural drainage of Casey Fork and Dodds Cr.
