Fencing land between two creeks, platted over two centuries
Mount Pleasant was founded in 1848 on the high ground between Dutch Buffalo Creek and Adams Creek, and its 19th-century core, added to the National Register in 1986, sits alongside farmland that has been subdivided more gradually. Property lines near the historic district tend to be older and smaller than parcels out toward the surrounding farmland.
What that means for a fence layout
A fence near Mount Pleasant's historic core should be checked against a current survey before installation, since 19th-century lot lines don't always match today's plat, while a fence on the surrounding farmland has more room but sometimes less formally documented boundaries.
