About this map

Lafayette serves as the focal point of this North Central Tennessee landscape, where the town’s grid is anchored by the Lafayette City Cem and surrounded by numerous small rural communities. The map reveals a high concentration of family cemeteries, such as the Jesse West Cem and the Mooningham White Robertson Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogists tracking early settlers in Macon County.

Outside the municipal center, the terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows, including Doctor Hollow and Shoemake Hollow, separated by ridges like Peddlers Ridge. To the north and west, settlements such as Haysville and Oakdale are situated along winding roads like Haysville Cir. Waterways such as Puncheon Cr and Middle Fork Goose Cr drain the uplands, while the Lafayette Municipal Airport indicates the modern infrastructure serving this traditionally agricultural region.
