1961 Map of Lafayette East

About this map

Wildcat Creek and its many branches, including the Middle Fork Wildcat Creek and the South Fork Wildcat Creek, wind through this landscape as the city of Lafayette expands eastward. The 1960s suburban growth is captured in the development of neighborhoods like Eastwitch and Meadowbrook, while older community anchors like the Longlois Sch and St Boniface Cemetery remain. The map documents a period of significant transportation infrastructure, showing the Norfolk and Western and CSX rail lines alongside newly established interstate interchanges. Local aviation history is preserved through the presence of Aretz Airport to the north and Halsmer Airport to the south, while leisure sites like the Drive-in Theater and Columbian Park reflect the mid-century recreation of the Tippecanoe County seat.
