About this map

La Fayette serves as the hub of this East Alabama landscape, where the street grid of the county seat meets the winding rural routes of Chambers County. The map details a transition from the structured blocks of the town center to the outlying agricultural and timber lands surrounding Penton, Buffalo, and Rollins. This survey is particularly useful for genealogists, as it documents a high density of rural burial grounds, including Hill Thompson Cem and the Old Rock Springs Cem, which are scattered across the headwaters of Chatahospee Cr and Allen Cr.

Water resources are central to the area's layout, dominated by the Lafayette Reservoir and several named ponds such as Robinson Lake and Sharpe Number One Lake. The terrain is defined by the Piedmont's characteristic rises, culminating at Kellem Hill in the southeast. This 2014 edition provides a clear record of the modern road network, including the primary corridors of Us 431 and Al-77, alongside numerous established county roads that connect long-standing community centers like Chapel Hill and White Plains.
