2013 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

Mount Vernon and its neighboring community of Lisbon serve as the primary population centers on this landscape, defined by a complex network of named creeks and rolling topography. The northern reaches are drained by Big Cr and Elbow Cr, while the central area is intersected by Abbe Cr, which winds past Abbe Hills Rd. These waterways eventually give way to the Cedar River in the south, where the settlement of Ivanhoe sits near the water's edge. This southern area is particularly notable for researchers interested in local genealogy, featuring Ivanhoe Cemetery Rd near the river bend. The map also captures smaller communities like Saint Mary, connected by a web of rural routes such as Linn Ridge Rd and Smyth Rd that trace the historical development of Linn County beyond the main town centers.
