USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Ohio River dominates this mid-century portrait of Mount Vernon, where the intersection of water, rail, and industry defined the landscape. Industry is prominent on the city's outskirts, marked by a significant Oil Refinery and multiple pipelines, while the town center is anchored by landmarks like the Memorial Bldg and Hedges Central Sch. The river itself is a bustling corridor, featuring Mount Vernon Towhead and several markers like Mile 829, illustrating the importance of navigation to this Posey County hub.
