2011 Map of Delta

About this map

Glacial topography defines the village of Delta and the surrounding Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in this early 21st-century study. The landscape is a complex mosaic of kettle lakes and woodland drainage, dominated by water bodies such as Lake Delta, Canthook Lake, and the East Fork White River. Human presence in this timber-rich region is marked by the Delta Lookout Tower and the Perch Lake Campground, reflecting a transition from fire surveillance and forest management to recreation. A notable engineering feature is the Murrays 2WP1034 Dam near the northern edge, regulating local water flow through Hildur Lake. The network of forest roads, including W Delta Rd and Basswood Rd, provides access to numerous named fishing spots like Steelhead Lake and Spirit Lake, documenting the area's ongoing importance for sporting and outdoor leisure.
