2010 Map of Delavan

About this map

Delavan serves as the primary population center in this section of Faribault County, anchored by the Delavan Post Office in the southeastern corner. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, with Rice Creek winding northward to connect several prominent water bodies. The significance of these waters to the local community is evident in the cluster of burial sites nearby, including Rice Lake Cemetery and Bass Lake Cemetery. Water management is a visible priority here, noted by the presence of the Rice Lake Dam and the Vernon Finseth Dam along the southern reaches of the creek. This survey also documents the rural cemetery network vital for genealogists, featuring the Jackson Lake Cemetery in the northwest and both the West Lutheran Cemetery and East Lutheran Cemetery situated on the higher ground south of Lura Lake.
