2016 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

The Ohio River forms the southern boundary of this Posey County landscape, winding past Slim Island and Towhead Island near the settlement of Hovey. The city of Mount Vernon sits along the riverbank, serving as a hub for the region's transport and agriculture. Further inland, the terrain is defined by a dense network of country roads and small communities like Farmersville, Erwin, and Upton. Local family history is well-preserved through numerous burial sites across the township, including Saint Matthews Cem, Alldredge Cem, and Belle Fontaine Cem. To the north and west, drainage systems such as Whipple Ditch and Big Creek Slough navigate the low-lying areas near Prairie. The presence of Brewery Hill and Parrish Airport highlights the varied land use, from elevated landmarks to small-scale aviation infrastructure, all set against the backdrop of the Indiana-Kentucky border.
