1982 Map of Pleasant Hill

About this map

Southaven stands as a focal point of suburban growth along the Tennessee-Mississippi state line in the early 1980s, where the expansion of residential blocks meets the rolling drainages of the Shelby and DeSoto County border. To the east, the unincorporated community of Pleasant Hill maintains its rural character, surrounded by a complex network of waterways including Horn Lake Creek and Hurricane Creek. The landscape transitions from the developed streets of the north to the managed waters of Sunset Lake and Sunrise Lake near the quadrangle's southern edge. Industrial activity is represented by a local Sand & Gravel Pit, while recreational interests are reflected in the presence of Riding Stables and a Golf Course, illustrating the region's mid-century shift from purely agricultural use to a diverse residential and leisure-oriented corridor.
