2024 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

Mount Vernon serves as the focal point of this Jefferson County landscape, where the Jefferson County Courthouse stands at the heart of the municipal grid. The region's history is deeply etched into its geography through a dense collection of burial grounds, ranging from the central Oakwood Cem to outlying sites like Old Shiloh Cem and Wolf Prairie Cem. This concentration of cemeteries provides significant genealogical data for researchers tracing early area families. Water management and recreation are central themes, evidenced by the Louisville and Nashville Reservoir and Lake Jaycee. The map captures the transition from the organized streets of the city to smaller outlying settlements such as Drivers, Marcoe, and Bakerville, all set against a backdrop of drainage systems like Casey Fork and the Big Muddy River.
