2022 Map of Lafayette West

About this map

The Wabash River serves as the central artery for this portion of Tippecanoe County, separating the sprawling campuses and residential heights of West Lafayette from the historic core of Lafayette. The eastern bank is dominated by the Tippecanoe County Courthouse, while the western side features the extensive grounds of Purdue University and the Purdue University Airport. This modern survey illustrates the dense suburban expansion into areas like Klondike and Shadeland, alongside established neighborhoods such as Happy Hollow Heights and Bar-Barry Heights. Cultural and institutional history is visible through the numerous memorial grounds, including the Indiana Veterans Home Cem and Tippecanoe Memory Gardens Cem. The landscape transitions from the developed urban university setting to more open terrain near Jordan Cr and Lost Cr, reflecting the region's continued growth outward from the river valley.
