2010 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

The Mount Vernon and Lisbon communities anchor this Linn County landscape, shown here at a moment of continued growth and development. Located near the southern edge of the quadrangle, these settlements are defined by a structured grid of streets, including N Washington ST and 1st ST W, while rural life continues in the surrounding hills. The Cedar River flows through the southwestern corner near Ivanhoe, where the terrain transitions from cultivated fields to riverbank. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous burial grounds, such as Mount Zion Cemetery in the north and Saint John Catholic Cemetery to the southeast. The map also traces the drainage patterns of Abbe Creek and Elbow Creek, illustrating how the natural topography influenced early roads like Linn Ridge RD and Abbe Hills RD. This survey captures the enduring presence of local institutions like Saint Mary church and the essential Mount Vernon Post Office.
