The 6-by-6-mile (10 by 10 km) squares that became Delmar were first surveyed in the fall of 1848 by crews working for the U.S. government. In November 1849 a crew marked all the section corners of the eastern six by six square, walking the woods and swamps on foot, measuring with chain and compass. When done, the deputy surveyor filed this general description:
In the Southern part of this Township there is a considerable quantity of valuable Pine timber. In the Southwest quarter of Section 5 there are two unoccupied Cabins. The Surface is generally flat, the Soil poor & wet and but a Small portion adapted to farming. The banks of the Steams are low and the current Swift. Yellow River runs through the North Western Corner of the Township and there is also a considerable stream on the Eastern Part, which affords a good source(?) water power. It is heavily timbered with Birch, Maple, Sugar Pine & Oak.
