About this map

Holly Springs National Forest dominates the landscape of Lafayette County, where the dense woodlands are carved by the intricate drainage of Cypress Creek and Puskus Creek. This survey captures the rural character of the region, anchored by the namesake Puskus Lake and its surrounding trail networks like the N Cypress Non Motorized Trail. The map reveal a dispersed settlement pattern centered on small communities such as Keel, Burt, and Liberty Hill, each connected by a winding network of county roads.

Family history is deeply embedded in the land, evidenced by numerous burial grounds including Liberty Hill Cemetery, Jefferson Cemetery, and Shiloh Cemetery. Water management is a defining feature of the southern terrain, where North Cypress Lake, Cypress Lake, and East Cypress Lake join the LT-140-4 Reservoir in managing the local watershed. The boundary between Marshall and Lafayette counties runs across the northern edge, near the high ground of Rook Hill.
