About this map

Pleasant Hill Cem sits on the eastern edge of this late-1960s landscape, which is defined by the township boundaries of Marion, Remsen, Union, Henry, Elkhorn, and Garfield. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of south-flowing drainage systems, including Johns Creek, Whisky Creek, and Rathburn Creek, which eventually contribute to the Little Sioux River and its West Fork in the southeastern corner.

A distinct mix of agricultural infrastructure and early industrial markers is evident, from a remote Landing Strip in the northeast to several Gravel Pits and a diagonal Pipeline corridor. The lack of concentrated town centers emphasizes the rural, decentralized nature of Plymouth County during this era, where the placement of schools and farmstead access points follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System.
