1951 Map of Pleasantville

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The confluence of Cane Creek and Sinking Creek forms the agricultural heart of this landscape along the border of Hickman and Perry counties. Centered on the settlement of Pleasantville, the map reveals a rural society organized around narrow creek valleys and named hollows, where family-named landmarks like Stanley Cem and Duncan Cem document generations of local residency. The valley floor is marked by the presence of the Pleasantville School and several community hubs, including the Farmers Exchange and a local community center. The terrain is deeply dissected, with ridges separated by dozens of named drainages such as Shelving Rock Hollow and Sugarcamp Hollow. This 1951 survey, with 1968 photorevisions, shows the development of the Jim McCord Highway and a prominent pipeline cutting across the topography, illustrating the mid-century modernization of this otherwise traditional Tennessee river-valley environment.
