2011 Map of Pleasant Site

About this map

Pleasant Site and the settlement of Pogo anchor this landscape in northwestern Franklin County, where the terrain transitions toward the Freedom Hills. The map reveal a complex network of waterways that defined early industry and settlement, marked by several historic mill locations including Ramsey Mill Branch, Starky Mill Branch, and Boldin Mill Branch. These namesake streams suggest a legacy of water-powered milling that once served the local rural economy. For family historians, the placement of the James Cemetery, Bolton Cemetery, and Patterson Cemetery offers vital geographic context for ancestral research in this corner of Alabama. Distinctive landforms like Todd Ridge, Malone Hollow, and Indian Hill rise above the drainage of Cedar Creek, while a web of named roads like White Pike and Sally Burns Rd connect the scattered homesteads and ridges.
