About this map

Mount Vernon serves as the focal point of this Montgomery County landscape, anchored by the Montgomery County Courthouse and the campus of Brewton-Parker College. The terrain is defined by the western flow of the Oconee River, which forms the border with Wheeler County, while numerous drainage systems like Flat Creek and Limestone Creek carve through the agricultural and timber lands. To the east, the neighboring settlement of Ailey sits along the primary transport corridor that links these communities to McGregor.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds scattered across the rural acreage, including McLeod Cem, Nabb Cem, and Cooper Cem. These small cemeteries, often located near local routes like Co RD 43 or the elevated Buckeye Ridge, provide a clear map of historical family landholdings. The transition from the river lowlands to the higher ground of Oak Grove illustrates the traditional settlement patterns of the Georgia wiregrass region.
