2019 Map of Dillton

About this map

Murfreesboro and its eastern outskirts characterize this 2019 survey, showing the transition from dense urban development to the karst landscapes of the Central Basin. The Flat Rock Cedar Glade And Barrens stands out as a significant natural area northeast of the city, while the rural landscape to the south is dotted with established settlements like Dillton and Mankinville. This geography is defined by the drainage of Lytle Cr and the Middle Fork Stones River, which have historically shaped local land use and transportation routes like the Lascassas Pike. For family historians, the area is rich with family-named burial grounds, including the Elam-Snell Cem, Hallyburton Cem, and Howland Cem. The presence of Fox Camp Spring and Double Spring highlights the hydrogeology that once dictated the placement of pioneer homesteads and early communities across Rutherford County.
