About this map

The town of Lafayette serves as the focal point of this North-Central Tennessee landscape, where the modern infrastructure of the Lafayette Municipal Airport and the Macon County Justice Center meets a deeply rooted rural history. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, including the notable Gap of the Ridge and Peddlers Ridge. Waterways such as the Middle Fork Goose Cr and Puncheon Cr carve through the limestone-influenced topography, creating the distinct pockets that define small communities like Haysville, Brattontown, and Maple Grove.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family-named burial sites and landmarks. From the Lafayette City Cem to smaller, outlying plots like the Joe-Wilson Meador Cem, Wesley Crowder Cem, and the Livingston - Adams Cem, the map documents the generational settlement patterns of Macon County. Small hamlets like Pleasant Hill and Long Creek are connected by a winding web of named roads like Scottsville Rd and Galen Rd, tracing the legacy of old Tennessee homesteads.
