2018 Map of La Place

About this map

Tuskegee and the surrounding rural landscapes of Macon County are defined by a network of creeks and several longstanding family and community burial grounds. The terrain is bisected by Chewacla Creek and Calebee Cr, which flow through a region punctuated by small settlements like Franklin, Shorter, and La Place. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous mapped cemeteries, including Walker Chapel Cem, Saint John Cem, and Sweet Gum Cem. Near the northern border, the Tallapoosa River forms a natural boundary between Elmore and Macon Counties, while aviation history is represented by Sharpe Field north of the main Tuskegee area. The map illustrates a landscape of agricultural transitions and water management, visible in features such as Lake Carrona Number One and Lake Carrona Number Two.
