2010 Map of Pleasant Ridge

About this map

Pleasant Ridge and the surrounding rural landscapes of Ohio County are defined by a network of creeks and small family settlements. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Hoover Hill and Whoopee Hill, while water systems like Barnett Creek and Greasy Creek drain toward the Rough River in the southeast. For genealogists, the landscape preserves several family-named burial grounds, including the Dodson Cemetery, Shown Cemetery, and Ashley Cemetery, which provide anchors for local family histories. The Green River Pkwy cuts through the center of the region, contrasting modern transit with the established road networks connecting Bells Run, Beda, and Buford. Small water bodies like Maple Leaf Lake and the aptly named Crooked Pond dot the drainage basins, illustrating the low-lying wetlands that characterize the southern portion of the quadrangle.
