2013 Map of Lafayette East

About this map

The Wabash River and its intricate tributaries dominate this 2013 portrait of the eastern Lafayette area, where suburban expansion meets long-standing rural hamlets. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Wildcat Cr and its branches, including the S Fork Wildcat Cr and Middle Fork Wildcat Cr, which carved the terrain long before modern subdivisions like Meadowbrook and Eastwitch appeared. To the north and east, the transition to Indiana’s agricultural heartland is evident in the straight lines of the Buck Creek Ditch and Elliott Ditch, alongside the older settlements of Buck Creek and Monitor. Local history is embedded in the names of thoroughfares like Prophets Rock Rd and Burnetts Rd, while the proximity of Monitor Springs and the historic site of Birmingham highlights the enduring importance of water sources in Tippecanoe County’s development.
