About this map

The expansive campus and specialized agricultural facilities of Purdue University anchor this Tippecanoe County landscape, reflecting the university's significant footprint west of the Wabash River. The map meticulously details several institutional divisions, from the Purdue University Agronomy Farm in the northwest to the Purdue University Airport and Purdue University Veterinarian Farm near Summit. This academic corridor is flanked by established residential developments such as Klondike, Wabash Shores, and Happy Hollow Heights.

Tracing the historical infrastructure of the region, the survey highlights the path of Old Tow Path Rd near the river and Wea Creek, a nod to the area's early transportation history. Numerous burial grounds, including Hebron Cemetery and the extensive Tippecanoe Memory Gardens Cemetery, provide essential location data for genealogists. The urban centers of West Lafayette and Lafayette are shown as they transitioned into the 21st century, with newer additions like Norma Jean Addition appearing on the city's southern edge.
