About this map

The town of Mount Vernon serves as a focal point in this southern Georgia landscape, defined by its position near the winding Oconee River and the neighboring community of Ailey. The map highlights the local significance of higher education at Brewton-Parker Coll, which is situated between these two settlements. The surrounding terrain is a network of small watercourses, including Bear Cr, Flat Cr, and Limestone Cr, which carve through the rural countryside.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of family-named burial sites across the quadrangle, such as McCloud Cem, Nab Cem, and Morris Cem. These landmarks, along with smaller crossroads like McGregor and Oak Grove, illustrate the traditional settlement patterns of Montgomery County. The transition from town streets to rural routes like Old Bethel Rd and Sawmill Rd underscores the area's ongoing connection to its agricultural and timber-land roots.
