1941 Map of Lafayette
USGS Topo · Published 1941About this map
The Wabash River carves a deep valley between the established city of Lafayette and the growing campus of Purdue University in this 1940 survey. This era finds West Lafayette expanding around the university grounds and the Purdue Airport, while the eastern bank is densely packed with the urban grid of Lafayette, including City Hall and St Elizabeth Hospital. On the bluffs north of town, the Indiana State Soldiers Home and Wabash Sanitarium overlook the river valley, flanked by the wooded ravines of Happy Hollow and Cedar Hollow.
