2011 Map of Lafayette

About this map

The county seat of Lafayette serves as the focal point of this east-central Alabama landscape, where the town's street grid transitions into a network of rural county roads. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, visible through a series of local impoundments including the Lafayette Reservoir, Robinson Lake, and the Sharpe Lake Number 2. These bodies of water are fed by a complex drainage system led by Chatahospee Creek and Pigeonroost Creek. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies numerous family and community burial grounds such as the Hill-Thompson Cemetery, Old Rock Springs Cemetery, and Sandy Ridge Cemetery. Small settlements like Buffalo, Rollins, and Chapel Hill dot the crossings, while the Lafayette Post Office remains the central hub for the surrounding countryside at this point in the early 21st century.
