1965 Map of Pleasantville
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Des Moines River and South River confluence dominates the landscape of this mid-1960s Iowa survey, where intricate river bends meet the hilly terrain of Richland and Swan townships. This era of land management is evident in the dashed light-blue patterns indicating areas subject to controlled inundation, signaling the presence of the Lake Rock reservoir project. Small agrarian settlements like Swan and Beech serve as local anchors, while the Scatling Mine and various Gravel Pits highlight the extractive industries tucked into the river bluffs.
