About this map

Pleasantville serves as the primary hub in this corner of Marion County, where the landscape transitions from the developed streets of the town toward the complex river bottoms of the north. The Des Moines River meanders across the upper portion of the map, creating a broad floodplain marked by Waller Lake and Thomas Lake. This riparian corridor is flanked by the smaller settlements of Swan and Beech, connected by a network of rural routes such as Co RD g31.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of several rural burial grounds, including Moore Cem, Murray Cem, and Spurgeon Cem. The map documents the physical infrastructure of the era, from the Coal Creek Bridge to the expansion of residential streets like Hempstead St and E Jasper St. The drainage patterns of Wildcat Cr and Butcher Cr further illustrate the topographical character that has shaped the agricultural and civic layout of the region.
