Mount Pleasant, Burlington County, New Jersey

Mount Pleasant is a historic place located within the southeastern range of Mansfield Township and the northeastern range of Springfield Township. Mount Pleasant encompasses the intersection of Mount Pleasant Road (running east–west) and Gaunt's Bridge Road (running north–south), . The intersection is located about 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Columbus and 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Georgetown.

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 aforementioned intersection. A low, wooded ridge runs for about 1 mile (1.6 km) from the west side of the hill along the south side of Mount Pleasant Road toward Skunk Island Road. South of the ridge and Mount Pleasant Road lies an expansive meadowland that encompasses Assiscunk Creek, the township's southern border. The meadowland was called Ye Great Meadow during the 17th and 18th centuries. North of the ridge and Mount Pleasant Road lie cultivated farm fields that encompass Crafts Creek.
