MAPS

March 16, 1936 -


DELTA regained full control of the area overlapped w/ DOOR (Wis.); dispute w/ Wis. ended when the U.S. Sup. Ct. decreed the revised Mich.-Wis. boundary through Green Bay and Lake Mich., restoring to DELTA the area it appeared to lose in 1926. (Martin, "Second Wisconsin-Michigan," 86, 118-121)

November 22, 1926 - March 16, 1936


DELTA appeared to lose islands north of the Rock Island Passage to DOOR (Wis.) when the U.S. Supreme Court decreed the precise course of the Michigan-Wisconsin boundary through Lake Michigan and Green Bay and introduced some unintentional errors.
