1981 Map of Mount Vernon
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Mount Vernon sits as the focal point along the northern bank of the Ohio River in this 1981 survey, where the river's path defines the border between Posey County and Kentucky. The landscape reflects a diverse economy ranging from the dense industrial presence of Black Field and numerous Oil Wells to the fertile stretches of Prairie. The Louisville and Nashville railroad serves as a primary transport artery, cutting northwest through small communities like Upton and Grafton. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, including Belle Fontaine Cem, St Matthews Cem, and Alldredge Cem, alongside country landmarks like Bethel Ch and the curious Dead Mans Crossing. The map captures the river's dynamic geography with features such as Slim Island and the Mount Vernon Towhead, providing a detailed look at the interface between the river's navigation channels and the agricultural and industrial infrastructure of the shoreline.
