2017 Map of Delton

About this map

Gull Lake dominates the southeastern portion of this landscape, serving as a focal point for lakeside communities such as Highland Park, Woodlawn Beach, and Midland Park. This 2017 digital survey details the modern layout of the boundary between Barry and Kalamazoo counties, where the glacial topography is defined by features like The Hogback and Stony Point. Further north, the village of Delton sits near Crooked Lake, while the smaller settlement of Cressey lies to the west. For genealogists and local historians, several burial sites are documented, including the Prairie Home Cem in Richland, the Cressey Cem, and the unique individual Charlotte Dewey Grave located near Hickory Corners. The map provides a clear view of the transition from these lakeside residential areas to the surrounding agricultural and wooded wetlands like Blackman Swamp.
