Holt-Delhi Historical Society

Plat maps are some of the best resources for local history research, genealogical research, house history research, and beyond. Delhi Township's original boundaries were Jolly Road at the north, Nichols Road at the south, Waverly Road at the west, and College Road at the east. Though the approximately northern third of Delhi Township was annexed by the City of Lansing in the early 1960s, the Holt-Delhi Historical Society still covers the history of Delhi Township as it originally existed - all the way to Jolly Road. Some of our most prominent pioneers were residents of the northern parts of the Township, like the Norths, Everetts, Hilliards, and more, and omitting them from our history would render it incomplete. 

Most "Explore" links download PDF files, but a few (both 1874, 1914, and 1967) link to HistoricMapWorks.com, an excellent online map database which allows for interactive exploration and even overlaying the historic map onto modern maps of the area.
