2013 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

Mount Vernon serves as the focal point of this 2013 survey, where a complex network of local streets like Neggortown Hill Rd and Greenway Dr branch out toward the surrounding countryside. The landscape is defined by the winding waters of E Fork Skegg Cr and Sinking Br, carving through a terrain of hollows including Hysinger Hollow and Lime Plant Hollow. Transportation routes dominate the eastern half of the map, with the interstate corridor and Old US Highway 25 N cutting through small settlements like Burr and Pine Hill. Local history and geology are evident in the naming of places like Flat Rock and Blue Springs, while the presence of Lake Linville to the northwest highlights the area's water management. This map illustrates the modern footprint of Rockcastle County, showing how established towns and rural outposts like Wellhope and Sand Springs are interconnected by both ancient hollows and contemporary highways.
