About this map

Pleasant Hill serves as the central hub of this Cumberland County landscape, situated amidst a terrain defined by the winding course of the Caney Fork and its numerous tributaries. The southern portion of the map reveals a history of resource extraction, marked by the Braceburn Mine, Clifty Number One Mine, and Clifty Number Three Mine. These mining sites are clustered near the banks of Clifty Creek, where the local topography transitions into distinct knobs and hollows such as Pilot Knob and Dark Hollow.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, including the Neverfail Cemetery, Browntown Cemetery, and the Johnson Stand Cemetery. The map also documents long-standing rural community centers like Smith Chapel and Taylors Chapel. Water features are prominent, ranging from the recreational waters of Lake Alice and Upland Lake in the north to the natural landmarks of Pilot Falls and Tarklin Ford along the southern river bends.
