2010 Map of Pleasant Ridge

About this map

Wyoming Cemetery and several other family burial grounds characterize this rural Wisconsin landscape, reflecting the long-established farming communities of Iowa County. The settlement at Pleasant Ridge sits atop a rise overlooking a network of narrow valleys and creeks, including Rush Creek and Lowery Creek. This 2010 survey highlights a significant focus on water management and conservation, as evidenced by a series of engineered structures such as the Twin Parks 3 Dam and the Cox Hollow Number One Dam. These reservoirs, including Cox Hollow Lake and Twin Valley Lake, have reshaped the local drainage of Mill Creek, creating recreation areas alongside traditional landmarks like Bunker Hill. The map meticulously preserves the naming of local hollows and ridges, such as Yagers Hollow, which continue to define the geography of the Pleasant Valley area.
