2019 Map of Pleasant Hill

About this map

Pleasant Hill and the surrounding high country of the Cumberland Plateau are detailed in this survey of the Tennessee highlands. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, where the headwaters of Caney Fork and its tributaries like Clifty Cr and Meadow Cr carve deep hollows such as Dark Hollow and George Hollow. The map reveals a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, from the Old Railroad Grade Rd near Eastland to numerous local burial grounds including Smith Chapel Cem and Van Winkle Cem. Small settlements like Browntown, Ridgedale, and Erasmus are connected by a web of mountain roads, reflecting the persistent rural character of Cumberland County. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive high points like Officer Knob and Pilot Knob, which overlook the complex drainage basins feeding into the central river system.
