About this map

The city of Delavan and the settlement of Richmond anchor this southern Wisconsin landscape, where the meandering course of Turtle Creek defines much of the central valley. The map details a transition from the structured urban grid of Delavan, featuring the Delavan Post Office and the Delavan 3WR1282 Dam on Comus Lake, to the open agricultural tracts and small lakes that characterize Walworth County. Water is a dominant element, with Turtle Lake, Lake Lorraine, and Whitewater Lake scattered across the northern half of the quadrangle.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites like the Old Settlers Cemetery and Saint Andrews Cemetery near the city, or the Richmond Cemetery and Hollister Cemetery in the outlying rural sections. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is well-marked, including aviation landmarks like Swan Airport and the Ames Private Airport, alongside a network of county highways and local roads such as Territorial Rd and Ridge Prairie School Rd that follow long-established survey lines.
