About this map

Lake Delta and the community of Delta serve as central points in this lake-heavy landscape within the Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest. The map reveals a densely patterned topography of kettle lakes and glacial depressions, ranging from the large Eagle Lake and Phantom Lake to smaller basins like Canthook Lake and Hoppies Lake. The 2005 revision highlights a commitment to land preservation, showing the expansive Rainbow Lake Wilderness and dedicated non-motorized zones.

Recreational access is a primary feature of the era, with specific locations noted for Boat Access, a Boat Ramp at Bass Lake, and Carry In sites near Perch Lake South. The map details the transition from the Delta County Park area into more primitive regions such as the Star Lake Semi-Primitive Non-Motorized Area, illustrating the 21st-century balance between managed timberland and protected wilderness.
