2011 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

Mount Vernon serves as the regional hub for this Lawrence County landscape, shown here as a structured grid of rural roads and watercourses. The town’s layout transitions from its central core to the industrial and commercial activity flanking Interstate 44, while smaller settlements like Hoberg and Opal remain as important local nodes. The terrain is defined by the northward flow of Williams Creek and the meandering paths of Honey Creek and the Spring River to the south. Numerous family-named burial grounds, including the Spanish Fort Cemetery, Williams Cemetery, and Smith Cemetery, are scattered across the quadrangle, indicating deep genealogical roots in the surrounding farmland. Modern infrastructure such as a Landing Strip and the Southwest Research Center Dam sits alongside these older landmarks, illustrating the continued agricultural and technical development of the Missouri Ozark plateau region during the early twenty-first century.
