About this map

Lascassas sits at a historic crossroads in northern Rutherford County, where the Lascassas Pike and Cainsville Pike intersect. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the East Fork Stones River and its various tributaries like Bradley Creek and Bushman Creek. This area of Middle Tennessee is characterized by its prominent knobs, such as Grandfather Knob, Vaughters Knob, and Halls Knob, which rise sharply from the river valley floors.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of family burial grounds and small community cemeteries across this quadrangle. From the Drennan Cem in the northwest to Bowling Cem near Sharpsville, these sites—including Alsup Cem, Pearcy Cem, and Lasater Cem—trace the deep roots of the region's early settlers. The map also records the rural communities of Valleyview, Compton, and Browns Mill, illustrating the persistent agricultural and residential patterns that have shaped this portion of the county over generations.
