2019 Map of Mount Pleasant

About this map

Mount Pleasant serves as a central hub on this Maury County landscape, where the local economy and history are deeply intertwined with the phosphate industry and rail transport. The map documents industrial legacies such as the Stauffer Chemical Tailings Pond Number Seventeen and the CSX Transportation line that facilitates movement through the valley. Small residential clusters and historic settlements like Frierson Town, Needmore, and Isbell dot the area, often centered around family landmarks and numerous burial grounds. From Saint Johns Cem near Ashwood to the Arlington Cem on the outskirts of the main town, these sites provide significant genealogical value. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Big Bigby Creek and several prominent ridges, including Lusk Ridge and Pisgah Ridge, while the Maury County Airport marks modern infrastructure northwest of Ridley.
