2010 Map of Rockvale

About this map

Pleasant Hill and the surrounding Rutherford County countryside are defined by a high density of ancestral burial grounds and family-named landmarks. This area southwest of Murfreesboro is geographically diverse, ranging from the headwaters of the Harpeth River and Kelly Creek in the south to the prominent heights of Scales Mountain and Indian Mountain in the center. The landscape is dotted with numerous small cemeteries, such as the Lytle-Banks, Wray-Covington, and Lawrence-Yeargin plots, which suggest a long-established pattern of family farmsteads. The local community center revolves around the Rockvale Post Office and Windrow Church, while unusual geological features like Blue Sink and the depression known as The Gulf add character to the terrain. Key transportation corridors like Spanntown Rd and Snail Shell Cave Rd link these rural settlements and ridges.
