1960 Map of Delavan

About this map

Delavan serves as the primary urban center in this mid-century survey, its expansion tracked into the 1970s through purple revisions that detail new streets and a Trailer Park near the town center. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Turtle Creek and its relationship to Comus Lake, where infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal plant and Gaging Station indicate the managed nature of the local hydrology. Cultural and civic life in the city is anchored by the Post Office, City Hall, and recreational spaces such as Phoenix Park and Latimer Park.
