2015 Map of Vernon

About this map

Vernon serves as a central hub in this part of Washington County, situated where Pippin Mill Cr flows into Holmes Creek. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of karst topography, appearing as a dense concentration of solution lakes and ponds such as Dunford Lake, Hicks Lake, and Lucas Lake. These water bodies, along with smaller features like Baptizing Pond and Double Ponds, dictate the local road patterns and land use. Small settlements and named locales including Sylvania, Smyrna, and Holmes Valley are scattered across the terrain, connected by rural routes like Sylvania Rd and Moss Hill Rd. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, recording the locations of Potter Cem, Tiller Cem, and Greenhead Cem. To the east, the terrain rises toward Weaver Hill and Rattlesnake Head, showing the transition from the lake-studded lowlands to more elevated ground near Macom.
