About this map

The town of Pleasant Hill serves as the western anchor for this landscape where the Mississippi River bottomlands meet the rising bluffs of Pike County. To the east, Nebo is situated near the confluence of Spring Creek and Buck Branch, highlighting a settlement pattern defined by proximity to drainage and valley floors. The transition from the flat agricultural plains of Crooked Slough to the deeply dissected terrain of Howell Hollow and Wildcat Hollow in the south illustrates the area's geological variety.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly dense with family-named landmarks, featuring an unusually high concentration of small burial grounds tucked into the hills. These include Hartsock Cemetery, Mason Cemetery, Hutton Cemetery, and Henry Cemetery, among others. The presence of Mississippi River Road and numerous county routes like County Highway 10 trace the established transportation network connecting these rural communities and upland farms.
