1958 Map of Lafayette

About this map

The town of Lafayette serves as the focal point for this Macon County survey, showing the community just as modern infrastructure began to weave through the traditional landscape. To the north and west, the terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows like Wildcat Hollow and Shoemake Hollow, where family-named cemeteries such as Lyles Cem and Cliburn Cem are tucked away. This era captures a specific cultural transition, evidenced by the presence of both an Orphanage and a Drive-in Theater near Maple Grove.
