2011 Map of LaFayette

About this map

Blaylock Mill and its associated Blaylock Mill Pond sit along the Chattooga River south of the main settlement, reflecting the area's agricultural and industrial ties to local waterpower. This 2011 survey of the region surrounding LaFayette shows a landscape defined by parallel ridges and valleys, including Straight Gut Valley and Burnt Mill Valley. The town's growth is visible in the suburban expansion of neighborhoods like Oak Park, Skyline Heights, and Fairview Heights, while rural continuity is maintained through numerous family burial grounds such as Shaw Cemetery and Williams Cemetery. Significant industrial and infrastructure landmarks include the Walker County Quarry near Marsh Crossing and the Barwick Lafayette Airport. The western edge of the quadrangle is dominated by the steep terrain of The Pocket and Dug Gap, illustrating the natural barriers that have long shaped transportation routes like Estelle Mines Rd and Trion Hwy.
