2018 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

The Mobile River corridor north of Mobile is defined by a succession of river bluffs and small rail-aligned settlements in this 2018 survey. Mount Vernon serves as the primary hub, surrounded by family-named landmarks and historical sites like Mount Vernon Cem and Byrd Cem. The landscape transitions from the river's eastern bottomlands to the elevated ridges of the west, where timber and local roads like Old US Hwy 43 connect smaller communities including Movico, Pineola, and Chastang. Along the riverbank, a series of numbered landings such as Thirty Seven Mile Bluff and Thirty One Mile Bluff indicate the historical importance of river navigation and mileage markers from the coast. Tributaries like Cedar Creek and Bull Br carve through the terrain, supporting several smaller cemeteries including Roper Cem and Seymour Bluff Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local family histories in this part of Mobile County.
