How to Use This Delavan Lake, Wisconsin Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Delavan Lake, Wisconsin. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Wisconsin or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Delavan Lake.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Delavan Lake, Wisconsin

Delavan Lake is a locality in Walworth County, Wisconsin, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,803. The population density is 257.4 people per km². Delavan Lake is located at 42.5989°N, 88.6245°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 53115.

Delavan Lake anchors a landscape of glacial moraines where the horizon is defined by the soft, rhythmic rise and fall of fertile farmland. It lies 7.6 miles southwest of Elkhorn, WI (from Elkhorn, WI: bearing 216°T), and is situated 3.4 miles south of Delavan. The water acts as a mirror for the changing sky, reflecting the deep amber of autumn cornfields and the stark, pale gray of winter clouds that drift across the open plains. Within the immediate vicinity, Kirkpatrick Park offers a quiet expanse of green, serving as a sanctuary where the land meets the water’s edge in a tangle of native grasses and hardwood stands. Three miles to the east, the White River meanders through the lowlands, its steady, quiet movement providing a subtle counterpoint to the stillness of the surrounding woods.

History lingers here in the architecture of grand summer estates, remnants of a time when the wealthy sought refuge from the heat of distant cities in the cooling breeze of the basin. The local economy has long since evolved from its agricultural foundations into a seasonal rhythm dictated by the influx of visitors who seek the restorative pace of the water, though the enduring influence of the early settlers remains in the sturdy, sensible character of the regional culture. Even now, the evening air carries the faint, savory scent of a Friday fish fry, a tradition that persists as a quiet assertion of community identity. Life at Delavan Lake moves with a deliberate, unhurried cadence, marked by the shifting light that settles over the water as the sun dips toward Mount Zion in the distant west.

About This Delavan Lake Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Delavan Lake, Wisconsin. Coordinates: 42.598884, -88.624497. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Delavan Lake includes the ZIP code (53115), telephone area code (608), county seat of Walworth County (Elkhorn), and school district assignment (Delavan-Darien School District).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
