1963 Map of Pleasant Valley

About this map

The North Branch Forest River and its tributary branches carve a distinct drainage pattern across this Walsh County landscape, moving through the townships of Vernon and Eden. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the terrain is defined by the high-plateau boundaries of Golden, Kensington, and Medford, where the agricultural grid is punctuated by numerous Gravel Pits and a prominent Radio Tower. The small settlement of Pleasant Valley serves as a local focal point near the northern edge of the map, while the name Rush Ford denotes the historical crossing and drainage area to the east. This map captures the region before the consolidation of many small rural operations, showing the precise placement of section-line roads and the scattered industrial excavations that supported the local infrastructure of the mid-20th century.
