2013 Map of Pleasantville

About this map

Pleasantville serves as the central hub of this Trempealeau County landscape, situated where N Br Elk Cr meets the main branch of Elk Cr. The topography is defined by its coulees—distinctive valley systems like Dissmore Coulee and Sjuggerud Coulee that drain toward the Trempealeau River at the southern edge of the sheet. Smaller hamlets such as Hale and Coral City anchor the rural road network, which follows the natural winding paths of the stream beds and ridgelines. The transition from the more developed corridor near Coral City and Pigeon Cr to the more isolated stretches of Sleepy Valley illustrates the varied agricultural and residential patterns of Western Wisconsin. Local history is etched into the landscape through family-named thoroughfares and geographic features like Thompson Coulee, reflecting a long-standing relationship between the community and the driftless-style terrain of the region.
