1967 Map of Delavan
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
Rice Lake and the long expanse of Lura Lake dominate this landscape on the border of Blue Earth and Faribault counties. The settlement of Delavan serves as the local hub, situated along the tracks of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad in the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. This mid-century survey reflects a heavily managed agricultural environment, defined by a network of drainage infrastructure including Judicial Ditch No 49 and Judicial Ditch No 9, which funnel water through Rice Creek toward the larger basins. Genealogists will find several landmarks for family research, such as the Jackson Lake Cem near the northern shore of its namesake lake, the Rice Lake Cem, and local congregations at West Ch and East Ch. The map also details the local industrial footprint with a small Gravel Pit located near the northern township line.
