2012 Map of Lafayette

About this map

Lafayette and its surrounding Leon County settlements are captured here during a period of suburban expansion east of the state capital. The map showcases a landscape defined by significant water bodies, most notably the expansive Lake Lafayette and Buck Lake, which are interconnected by a complex network of smaller basins like J R Alford Pond and Headley Pond. The presence of the Soda Field Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local family roots in the areas of Saint Peter and Perkins. The transportation infrastructure is well-defined, showing the modern path of Interstate 10 alongside older thoroughfares such as Old Saint Augustine Rd. This map illustrates how the residential growth of Gardner and neighboring communities has been shaped by the natural drainage of Shepherd Br and the local pond systems.
