About this map

Mid Tennessee State Univ serves as a prominent landmark on the eastern edge of Murfreesboro, where urban expansion begins to transition into the rolling rural landscape of Rutherford County. This territory is densely marked by family-named burial grounds and small settlements such as Shiloh, Dillton, and Mankinville, reflecting a deeply rooted agricultural heritage. The landscape is carved by numerous watercourses, including the Middle Fork Stones River, Lytle Cr, and Cripple Creek.

Genealogists will find a high density of small cemeteries like Lillard Cem, Ivie Cem, and McClanahan Cem scattered throughout the rural sections. Significant natural features like Fox Camp Spring and Todds Lake Number Two suggest a landscape where water sources were central to early settlement patterns. The concentration of these smaller, family-associated landmarks provides an intimate look at the community structure in this part of Tennessee during the mid-2010s.
