About this map

Lafontaine serves as the central hub of this Wilson County landscape, situated where the terrain begins to transition toward the Montgomery County line. The settlement is defined by a traditional grid of streets including Olive St and Grant Rd, positioned just north of the junction between State Hwy 39 and 200 Rd. This map reveals a territory deeply carved by a network of waterways, most notably the meandering Fall River in the northeast and several significant tributaries such as Mulberry Cr and Sycamore Cr that drain the southern fields.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise locations of the Bachelder Cem near the confluence of W Rainbow Cr and E Rainbow Cr, as well as the Cheatham Cem situated further east. The map captures the agricultural organization of the area, defined by a strict section-line road system including Buxton Rd and various numbered routes that navigate the many branches and creeks like Elm Br.
