About this map

The Wabash River and its major tributaries, including Wildcat Creek and the Middle Fork Wildcat Creek, define the landscape east of Lafayette. This 2019 survey documents a region where urban expansion meets preserved historical corridors, such as the Wabash Heritage Trail and Prophetstown-Village Trails near Battle Ground. The map reveals a dense network of local cemeteries that anchor the history of rural settlements, including Hollywood Cem in Buck Creek and Spring Vale Cem on the edge of the city.

Industrial and residential development is concentrated along major corridors like Sagamore Pkwy S and Old State Rd 25, while smaller communities like Monitor and Dayton maintain their distinct positions within the agricultural landscape of Tippecanoe County. Water management is evident through features like Elliott Ditch and Buck Cr Ditch, illustrating the modification of the prairie for farming and drainage.
