USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Lafayette serves as the primary hub in this mid-1960s agricultural landscape, situated along the Chicago and North Western railroad line. The map reveals an extensively engineered water system, with numerous drainages like County Ditch No 4A and Judicial Ditch No 1 cutting through the prairie to manage the high water table. The presence of the Cottonwood Lakebed and nearby Mud Lake indicates the historical transformation of the terrain from wetlands to productive farmland.
