2011 Map of Pleasant Plains

About this map

Pleasant Plains serves as the primary hub for this rural stretch of Independence County, situated where modern local roads meet the undulating drainage basins of the Ozark foothills. The landscape is defined by a dense network of waterways including Salado Creek and Fourteenmile Creek, which have historically dictated the placement of settlements like Cedar Grove and Roosevelt. Notable for genealogists, the map preserves the locations of the Old Union Cemetery in the northwest and Pleasant Plains Cemetery to the east. The presence of Camp Tahkodah and Camp Crossed Arrows suggests a mid-century tradition of youth or recreational retreats centered around the riparian corridors of Wagon Wheel Creek and Bear Branch. This modern survey traces how earlier rural footprints have evolved into a grid of family-named lanes like Tom Conder Rd and Prince Reaper Rd.
