About this map

Pleasant Hill and Nebo serve as the primary anchors for this rural landscape in the late 1970s, situated near the boundary of Pike and Calhoun Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad cuts through the heart of the quadrangle. Local family and community history is etched into the land through numerous small burial sites like Mason Cem, Hutton Hill Cem, and Neese Cem, often located near prominent elevations like Hutton Hill. To the southwest, the landscape flattens as it approaches the Mississippi River floodplain, marked by managed water features such as The Sny, a Diversion Levee, and the Crooked Slough. This transition from the dissected uplands of Martinsburg and Spring Creek to the bottomlands highlights the regional reliance on complex drainage systems to support the local agriculture and transportation networks of the era.
