About this map

Pleasant Hill serves as the central community in this rural pocket of the Alabama Black Belt during the late twentieth century. Located near the eastern boundary of Dallas County, the area is defined by a dense network of watercourses and shifting elevations. The drainage systems of Mush Creek, Hurricane Creek, and Cedar Creek carve through the landscape, creating a topography of ridges and bottoms that has historically influenced local land use and property lines.

Evidence of modern infrastructure appears with the inclusion of a Radio Tower, yet the landscape remains largely defined by its natural hydrology, including the path of Dry Cedar Creek in the south. This survey captures the rural character of the region as it transitioned through the 1980s, preserving the spatial relationship between these water bodies and the established settlement patterns near the Lowndes County line.
