Mount Pleasant, Burlington County, New Jersey

Mount Pleasant was named for the area's most conspicuous landmark: a small hill tapering to a pointed peak.

Mount Pleasant hill is wooded and it is located in a cultivated farm field in the southwest quadrant of the intersection.

South of the ridge and Mount Pleasant Road lies an expansive meadowland that encompasses Assiscunk Creek, the township's southern border.

North of the ridge and Mount Pleasant Road lie cultivated farm fields that encompass Crafts Creek.

"[1] In 1699, Caleb Shreve purchased Mount Pleasant hill, and 325 acres (1.32 km2) of land encompassing it, from Richard and Sarah French.
