2022 Map of Lafayette

About this map

Big Cypress Cr meanders across the border of Camp and Morris Counties, defining a landscape rich with family-named landmarks and secluded water bodies. Near the settlement of LaFayette, the terrain is marked by significant rises such as Wilks Mtn and Massey Mtn, while the wetlands around Flanagan Lake and Joplin Hole indicate the intricate drainage patterns of the region. Genealogists will find this area particularly informative, as it preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including LaFayette Cem, Riley Cem, and the Center Point Memorial Cem. The map illustrates a rural environment where timber and water are central, with names like Big Brushy Lake and Little Brushy Lake noting the character of the bottoms. Numerous small waterways like Ellison Br and Stoker Br feed into the larger creek system, tracing the historical boundaries of East Texas family landholdings.
