How to Use This Pleasant Hill, North Carolina Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Pleasant Hill, North Carolina. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of North Carolina or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Pleasant Hill and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Pleasant Hill.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Pleasant Hill, North Carolina
Pleasant Hill is a locality in Alamance County, North Carolina, United States. Pleasant Hill is located at 35.8735°N, 79.4817°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 28621.0.
Pleasant Hill rests in the undulating heart of North Carolina's Piedmont, where the land begins its slow, patient ascent toward the distant Blue Ridge Mountains. It lies 14.3 miles south-southwest of Graham, NC (from Graham, NC: bearing 199°T), and is situated 5.2 miles east-northeast of Liberty. The soil here, a rich, reddish-brown, holds the memory of ancient forests and agricultural toil, now mostly yielding to the broad, green expanses of managed fields and the occasional stand of mature oak and pine. Sunlight, when it breaks through the humid air of summer, has a softened, diffused quality, as if filtered through a thousand leaves, casting a gentle, almost golden hue across the landscape. Even the air itself seems to possess a certain weight, carrying the mingled scents of damp earth, blooming honeysuckle, and the faint, sweet perfume of ripening tobacco. The story of Pleasant Hill is one of quiet persistence, a place shaped by generations who worked the land and built a life from its bounty. Its economic roots are deeply entwined with the historical dominance of tobacco and textiles, industries that once pulsed through the region, leaving behind a legacy of sturdy, functional architecture and a deeply ingrained work ethic. While those grander days have faded, a spirit of self-reliance endures, seen in the independent spirit of local businesses and the enduring pride in time-honored traditions. You can still feel the echo of that past in the slow, deliberate cadence of conversation, in the courteous nods exchanged between neighbors, and in the lingering aroma of slow-cooked barbecue that wafts from kitchens on a Sunday afternoon, a subtle reminder of the distinct culinary heritage of this part of the state.

About This Pleasant Hill Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pleasant Hill, North Carolina — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 35.873471, -79.481688. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service, with current observations and a 7-day forecast also powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while a Wikipedia summary or an editorially written description provides background on Pleasant Hill and Alamance County.
Detailed location data for Pleasant Hill includes the ZIP code (28572), telephone area code (919, 984, 828), county seat of Alamance County (Graham), and school district assignment (Wilkes County Schools). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any US city or town.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Pleasant Hill is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
