Lafayette County Potential
Potential oil and gas structures, described by James Samuel Attava, Geologist of the State Geological Survey, indicate that Lafayette County should receive further investigation by oil and gas prospectors. Attava's recommendations bear out the early opinion of State Geologist, William Clifford Morse, that if a structure be present in any one of the five Chester sands toward the west or southwest down dip from their outcrops in northeastern Mississippi and northwestern Alabama, it may have trapped some of the oil before all of it reached the surface and escaped.
