2018 Map of Pleasantville

About this map

Whitehall and Coral City anchor the southern reaches of this Trempealeau County landscape, where the Trempealeau River and Pigeon Creek converge. The topography is defined by its deep coulees, including Thompson Coulee, Dissmore Coulee, and Sluggerud Coulee, which create a complex network of ridges and drainage basins. These narrow valleys dictate the paths of local thoroughfares like Stuve Rd and Guse Rd, while higher elevations such as Sleepy Valley remain relatively open. Further north, the small crossroads of Pleasantville and Hale serve as local hubs along the tributaries of Elk Cr. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of the Wagner Cem, situated west of Pleasantville near the headwaters of Bruce Valley Cr. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character of western Wisconsin, showing how the "driftless" style terrain has shaped land use from the valley floors to the high ridge roads.
