2013 Map of Pleasant Ridge

About this map

Pleasant Ridge defines the center of this rural landscape in Iowa County, where the driftless-style topography is carved by a network of creeks including Rush Cr, Lowery Cr, and Meudt Cr. The 2013 survey shows a region of scattered agriculture and protected waters, most notably the chain formed by Halverson Lake, Twin Valley Lake, and Cox Hollow Lake to the southwest. Named landmarks like Bunker Hill and Cates Family Farm offer specific points of interest for local history researchers. The map traces the winding paths of several hollows, such as Cox Hollow and Yagers Hollow, illustrating how the drainage patterns of Mill Cr and its tributaries have shaped the local settlement patterns and roadway alignments like Evans Quarry Rd and Amacher Hollow Rd.
