1961 Map of Lafayette West
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Purdue University serves as a dominant anchor in the mid-century development of Tippecanoe County, with its extensive specialized facilities like the Purdue University Airport, Dairy Farm, and Poultry Farm shaping the western landscape. The Wabash River creates a natural divide between the industrial and civic core of Lafayette, centered around the Courthouse and Armory, and the residential expansion of West Lafayette. This 1961 revision shows a period of significant suburban growth, seen in neighborhoods like Wabash Shores and Happy Hollow Heights. Along the riverbanks, historical markers such as the Ouiatenon Blockhouse and the Soldiers Home reflect the region's long-standing institutional and military history. The transportation network is dense, featuring the Monon and Norfolk and Western railroads crossing the river valley.
