2010 Map of Lafayette East

About this map

The Wabash River and the complex drainage system of Wildcat Creek define the eastern reach of this Indiana landscape. In the early 21st century, the area shows a distinct transition from the dense urban grid of eastern Lafayette to the smaller outlying communities like Dayton and Buck Creek. Local aviation is prominent across the terrain, with Aretz Airport, Halsmer Airport, and the Wildcat Air Landing Area all serving the region. The map preserves the locations of numerous historic burial sites, including the Swisher-Hurtz Cemetery and North Union Cemetery, which provide valuable anchors for genealogical research. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the heavy industrial and residential development concentrated near Eastwitch and Tecumseh, while the eastern portion of the sheet retains its agrarian character, punctuated by landmarks such as the Union Cemetery and the rural settlement of Monitor.
