About this map

Lascassas and the surrounding Rutherford County rural landscape are defined by a complex network of family cemeteries and prominent topographical features. The East Fork Stones River meanders through the central terrain, anchoring smaller settlements like Lofton and Browns Mill. These areas are characterized by a high density of named knobs, including Halls Knob, Rucker Knob, and Grandfather Knob, which overlook the historical homesteads and burial grounds of the region.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local history through numerous family plots such as Patterson Cem, Alsup Cem, and Barlow Cem. The transition from rural acreage to the outskirts of Murfreesboro is evident in the southwest, where the development of Baker Field and residential road networks like Lebanon Pike contrast with the creek-side community at Sharpsville. The map captures a moment of modern development alongside deeply rooted agrarian landmarks.
