2019 Map of Lafayette

About this map

Lafayette serves as the focal point of this Macon County survey, situated at the confluence of several regional roads including Scottsville Rd and Hartsville Rd. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows, such as Shoemake Hollow, Cold Spring Hollow, and Wiseman Hollow, which drain toward watercourses like Middle Fork Goose Cr and Long Cr. A significant number of family and community burial sites are documented across the terrain, including Lafayette City Cem, Lyles Cem, and the Jesse West Cem, providing a detailed record of local genealogy and land ownership. To the south, the topography rises toward Peddlers Ridge and Gap of the Ridge, while the Lafayette Municipal Airport sits on a plateau north of the town center. Smaller communities like Haysville, Pleasant Hill, and Brattontown are connected by a web of rural lanes, reflecting the traditional settlement patterns of the Highland Rim.
