2024 Map of Lafayette

About this map

Lafayette and West Jersey anchor this rural landscape in the western reaches of Stark County, where the terrain is deeply etched by the winding course of Walnut Creek and its tributaries. The settlement pattern follows a grid of established section roads like Winans Rd and Rice Rd, connecting small communities to the surrounding farmland. In the northeast corner, the edge of Toulon appears, while the boundary between Knox Co and Stark Co defines the western margin of the sheet. For those tracing local heritage, several historic burial grounds are documented across the countryside, including La Fayette Cem near the northern village and Shockley Cem positioned along the creek bluffs further south. These sites, along with McClenahan Cem and West Jersey Cem, serve as the primary markers of the early families who inhabited this agricultural heartland.
