LaFayette sits at the intersection of rural highways in Christian County, surrounded by a landscape defined by its agricultural roots and military proximity. The northern reaches of the Fort Campbell Military Res dominate the southern portion of the sheet, where Campbell Army Air Field and a complex network of patrol roads like Perimeter Rd meet the civilian countryside. The area is notable for its high density of family burial grounds, including the Major Cemetery, Double Barn Cemetery, and Garrott Cemetery, providing a significant record of the local genealogy for researchers. Waterways such as the Little River and Noahs Spring Branch wind through the terrain, while historical travel routes like the Lonnie Walker Hwy and Old Lafayette Rd connect the scattered homesteads. This 2010 survey offers a detailed view of the rural-military interface on the Kentucky-Tennessee border during a period of steady land use.
