2024 Map of Lafayette

About this map

Tallahassee National Cemetery and the complex lacustrine system of the Lafayette area define this landscape east of the Florida state capital. The map reveals a dense concentration of burial grounds and religious sites, including the Southwood Plantation Cem and the Connie Copeland African-American Cem, reflecting the deep ancestral and social layers of Leon County. The hydrology is centered on the interconnected basins of Upper Lake Lafayette, Piney Z Lake, and Lower Lake Lafayette, which are preserved through the Lafayette Heritage Trail Park and Tom Brown Park. Historical transit corridors like Old Saint Augustine Rd and Miccosukee Rd provide the framework for suburban growth around settlements such as Saint Peter and Perkins. The presence of the Verdura Plantation Cem and the Shady Grove Primitive Baptist Church Cem No 1 highlights the area's transition from an antebellum agricultural landscape to a modern residential and recreational hub.
