1961 Map of Lafayette West

About this map

The Purdue University campus and its extensive agricultural research facilities dominate this landscape during a period of significant mid-century expansion. While the urban centers of Lafayette and West Lafayette flank the Wabash River, the surrounding terrain is defined by specialized university sites including the Purdue University Airport, the Purdue University Agronomy Farm, and the Purdue University Horticulture Farm. This academic and scientific footprint reaches into the rural sections of Union and Wabash townships, where older landmarks like the Ouiatenon Blockhouse and Mt Zion Ch remain visible.
