2016 Map of Delano

About this map

The South Fork Crow River and North Fork Crow River dominate this Central Minnesota landscape, converging near the established community of Delano. This 2016 survey illustrates the township's transition from agricultural foundations to more modern residential patterns, yet the density of burial grounds like Trinity Cem and Saint Joseph's Cem preserves a record of early family settlements across the Wright and Hennepin county line. The presence of Brandt Airport and various named water bodies, including Dean Lake and Lake Rebecca, underscores the region's character as both a transport corridor and a recreational destination. Small-scale features such as Dickinson Spring and the numerous churches providing for the community's spiritual and historical needs, such as Calvary Cem, remain clearly marked, offering a precise look at the area's social geography.
