1998 Map of Lafayette East

About this map

Lafayette and its eastern sprawl dominate this 1998 survey, where the urban grid of the Fairfield township meets the meandering drainage of Wildcat Creek. The landscape transition is marked by a concentration of community institutions and transportation hubs, from the Aretz Airport in the north to the Halsmer Airport near the southern boundary. Residential expansion is evident in developments like Eastwitch and Meadowbrook, while older rural markers such as North Union Cem and Swisher-Hurtz Cem remain preserved in the outlying townships of Washington and Perry. The Wabash River carves through the northwest corner, shadowed by the historic Tippecanoe Conservation Club. These topographical details provide a clear view of how the city's infrastructure and highway interchanges integrated with the established agricultural tracts and natural waterways at the close of the century.
