1971 Map of Lafayette

About this map

Lafayette serves as the focal point of this Chambers County landscape, its street grid and public infrastructure clearly defined at the junction of the Central Of Georgia railroad. The town's social fabric is illustrated by numerous local institutions, including Eastside Sch, Southside Sch, and the Batson Memorial Sanitarium to the north. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is shaped by a dense network of drainage, most notably Chatahospee Creek and Mill Creek, which flow toward the Lafayette Reservoir. Small agricultural and rural communities like White Plains, Rollins, and Marcot are scattered throughout the region, each anchored by local landmarks such as Rock Springs Ch and Sandy Ridge Ch. The 1980s photorevisions highlight evolving land use, while original features like the Gravel Pit and numerous small cemeteries, such as Finley Cem, provide a detailed record of local industry and genealogy.
