About this map

Pleasant Garden and its surrounding countryside represent a late 20th-century transition between agricultural tradition and suburban expansion. The Southern railroad line runs north-south through the village, anchoring the settlement pattern near Ritters Lake. The landscape is densely populated with community cornerstones, including Burnetts Chapel, Rehobeth Ch, and Cedar Square Ch, alongside schools like Sumner Sch and Southern Guilford High Sch.

Topography is defined by the winding course of the Deep River and Polecat Creek in the south, while the northern section is marked by industrial infrastructure like pipelines and a Water Tank. To the southwest, Coltranes Mtn rises above the river valley near Level Cross. This 1970 survey, based on 1969 aerial photography, documents the area's rural character just as modern developments like the Golf Course and various trailer parks began to appear alongside family-named landmarks.
