About this map

Mount Vernon serves as the focal point of this Lawrence County landscape, situated where the rolling Ozark terrain meets a network of vital waterways. The Spring River and Honey Creek carve through the southern and western portions of the quadrangle, while Williams Creek flows past the northern edge of the county seat. This 2021 survey documents the modern layout of the city, including the Lawrence County Justice Center and landmarks like the Independent Order of Odd hall.

Outside the main settlement, the map reveals a history of rural community life preserved through numerous small burial grounds. Genealogists and local historians can locate Spanish Fort Cemetery, Fellows Cemetery, and the Hoberg Cemetery near the community of Hoberg. The presence of the Springhill Airport and a dense network of county roads like Lawrence 2110 and State Hwy H illustrate the area's continued role as a regional transit corridor.
