About this map

Pleasant Hope and Brighton anchor this 2011 survey of southern Polk County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of the North Dry Sac River and the Pomme de Terre River. The terrain is marked by agricultural operations and small-scale water management, evidenced by the Ralph Brooks Reservoir and its associated Ralph Brooks Dam in the north, alongside the Chester Jenkins Lake and McNerney Lake Dam further east.

Smaller community centers like Alsup and Heady are visible amidst a dense network of country roads, while local history is preserved at the New Hope Cemetery and Tiller Cemetery. The presence of the Good Samaritan Ranch and the Hogue Farm Airport highlights the mix of residential, charitable, and private aviation uses that characterize this rural Missouri corridor just north of the Greene County line.
