About this map

Mount Pleasant serves as a significant hub for Henry County, dominated by the campus of Iowa Wesleyan Coll and a network of arterial roads. The landscape transition from the urban grid of Mount Pleasant to the winding course of the Skunk River reveals a history deeply tied to both education and topography. To the west, the settlement of Westwood and the community of Oakland Mills mark the more rugged riparian terrain where the river carves through the countryside.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family and community burial grounds, including the Mount Pleasant Cem, Scott Cem, and the Abraham Farm Cem. The map captures the infrastructure of the mid-2010s, showing the Mount Pleasant Municipal Airport and the modernization of transit corridors such as Old Hwy 34, while preserving the locations of smaller rural landmarks like Home Bethel Cem and Pickard Cem.
