2024 Map of Pleasant Plains
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Pleasant Plains and the village of Berlin anchor this agricultural landscape in western Sangamon County, reflecting a pattern of prairie settlement defined by rural cemeteries and farm-to-market roads. The terrain is bisected by the drainages of Richland Creek, Prairie Creek, and Spring Creek, which create natural breaks in the rectangular survey grid. For family historians, the map is a dense record of local burial grounds, including the Old Mount Zion Cem, Wood Wreath Cem, and Irwin Cem. The boundary between Morgan Co and Sangamon Co runs along the western edge, while transportation history is visible in the alignment of Old State Rd and the presence of Smith Airport. This 2024 survey captures the persistence of these small Illinois communities as they maintain their identities amidst the surrounding grain fields and creek bottoms.
