2016 Map of Lafayette East

About this map

Lafayette and its eastern suburbs are documented during a period of modern expansion along the Wabash River and Wildcat Creek corridors. The landscape transitions from the urban density of the city center to the established rural communities of Buck Creek, Monitor, and Dayton. Significant educational institutions like Ivy Tech Community College-Lafayette and the Indiana Business College-Lafayette anchor the southern and central districts. Historically significant burial grounds, including Saint Boniface Cem, Springvale Cem, and the family-named Swisher-Hurtz Cem, are preserved across the quadrangle. Transportation remains a defining feature, with the N&W RR line cutting through the northeast, while residential developments like Eastwitch and Tecumseh fill the space between historical drainage features like Elliott Ditch and the prominent Roseberry Ridge.
