About this map

Delta serves as a small focal point in this 2013 landscape of central Bayfield County, where the topography is defined by an intricate cluster of small glacial lakes and kettle ponds. The settlement is situated near the intersection of County Hwy-H and Scenic Dr, north of the S Fork White River. The naming of the water bodies suggests early cultural and ethnic influences, with Swede Lake, Hildur Lake, and Phantom Lake punctuating the dense forest terrain.

A notable landmark is the Delta Lookout Tower, positioned centrally among the lakes near Tower Lake. Farther south, the Perch Lake Campground indicates the area's transition into a modern recreational corridor within the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The road network, including numerous Forest Service routes like FR 223 and Forest Rd 399, provides access to even the most isolated basins like Canthook Lake and Steelhead Lake.
