About this map

The East Fork Stones River meanders through the heart of this mid-century Rutherford County landscape, defining the rural character of the area near Lascassas. The map reveals a dense network of family heritage sites, including numerous burial grounds like Patterson Cem, Dunaway Chapel Cem, and Northcut Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Local community life at this time centered around institutions such as Republican Grove Ch, Walnut Grove Ch, and Bethel Sch.

Institutional presence is marked by the sprawling U S Veterans Hospital grounds in the southwest, while industrial history is represented by Browns Mill on the riverbank. The terrain is punctuated by prominent elevations including Grandfather Knob and Rucker Knob, overlooking the winding waters of Bradley Creek and Cripple Creek. The map also preserves the Wilson Co Rutherford Co line as it stood during this era of agricultural transition.
