2024 Map of Pleasant Site

About this map

Pleasant Site serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in the Freedom Hills along the border of Colbert and Franklin Counties. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of drainages and named ridges, with Cedar Creek and its many tributaries, including Cody Branch and Shoat Mill Branch, cutting through the hills. This contemporary map documents a long history of local settlement through its numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Sally Burns Cem, the Perry-Bolton Cem, and Lower Pleasant Site Cem. The presence of labels like Starky Mill Branch and Ramsey Mill Branch points toward an early economy once tied to small-scale milling. Significant landmarks like Todd Ridge and Malone Hollow define the physical geography, while small communities like Pogo are connected by a network of county roads and local routes such as Troy Thorn Rd.
