2019 Map of Delano

About this map

Delano sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the winding South Fork Crow River. The area’s spiritual and local history is exceptionally well-documented through a high density of small burial grounds, including the Old Saint Peters Cem and twin sites for the Mount Olive Lutheran West Cem and Mount Olive Lutheran East Cem. These landmarks, along with Saint Pauls Cem and Cassel Cem, reflect the early settlement patterns of Wright County and Hennepin County families. North of town, the terrain is defined by glacial features like Boo Lake and Dean Lake, while the Brandt Airport marks a modern local transport point. The convergence of the North and South forks of the Crow River near Rockford illustrates the importance of these waterways to the region's geographic layout.
