About this map

The East Fork Stones River carves a winding path through this portion of Rutherford County, sustaining a landscape defined by small crossroads communities and family legacies. Scattered between Lascassas and Walterhill, numerous family burial grounds like Dement Cem and Rucker-Pitts Cem suggest generations of deep-rooted land ownership. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Grandfather Knob and Halls Knob, which rise above the river valley and its tributaries like Bradley Creek and Jarman Br.

Water management is central to the area's geography, with Walter Hill Lake and Browns Mill Lake serving as notable landmarks. Religious and community life centers on sites like Dunaway Chapel, while the presence of Baker Field and various named knolls indicates a mix of agricultural utility and natural landmarks. The transition from the rural character of Valleyview to the northern reaches of Murfreesboro illustrates the ongoing evolution of this Middle Tennessee region.
