About this map

La Vergne and Smyrna anchor this landscape where suburban development meets the historical family plots of Rutherford County. The area is defined by its numerous small burial grounds, such as the Sam Davis Cem and Mitchell-Moore Cem, which often represent the only remaining traces of early landholdings. The terrain transitions from the lowlands near Stewart Creek to a series of prominent elevations like Sanford Knob and Persimmon Knob in the south.

Transportation corridors including the CSX Transportation railroad and I-24 divide the quadrangle, illustrating the region's role as a major transit hub for Middle Tennessee. Smaller, long-established communities like Rocky Fork and Little Hope sit alongside older local landmarks such as Loafers Corner and Britton Hill, preserving the names of rural crossroads as the surrounding fields are integrated into the modern metropolitan footprint.
