About this map

The town of Lafayette serves as the focal point of this 2010 survey of Macon County, Tennessee, showing a landscape defined by deeply carved hollows and a dense network of family cemeteries. The settlement pattern follows the ridgelines and valley floors, with small communities like Haysville, Maple Grove, and Brattontown connected by winding routes such as Old Hwy 52. The sheer number of burial grounds, including the Livingston - Adams Cemetery, David Blankenship Cemetery, and the Mooningham - White - Robertson Cemetery, provides a remarkable record of local lineage and early family settlements throughout the region.

Waterways like Puncheon Creek and Long Creek have carved distinct terrain features such as Negro Hollow, Threefork Hollow, and Sulphur Spring Hollow. Significant local landmarks are also documented, ranging from the Lafayette Municipal Airport and the Lafayette Post Office to recreational spaces like the Macon County Golf Course. This edition captures the area at a moment of modern development while still preserving the names and locations of historical family homesteads and landmarks.
