About this map

Delavan and the winding Turtle Creek define this landscape as it appeared in the early 1960s, with updates reflecting local growth through 1971. The map illustrates a region transitioning between concentrated village development and the surrounding rural townships of Richmond, Sugar Creek, and Darien. In the village itself, the presence of several educational institutions, including St Andrews Sch, Christian Sch, and the local High Sch, marks the town as a local social hub.

The presence of numerous natural and artificial water bodies, from Whitewater L to the smaller Lake No 10, suggests a landscape deeply shaped by glacial activity. For those interested in local genealogy, the location of Richmond Cem and Hollister Cem provides key landmarks for tracing family history. Small-scale industrial activity is also evident through the Gravel Pit and other Pit labels scattered near the creek beds.
