About this map

Bethany Beach and the neighboring coastal communities of South Bethany, Middlesex Beach, and Sussex Shores dominate this late 2010s coastal survey. The landscape is defined by the complex aquatic systems separating the Atlantic shoreline from the mainland, including the Assawoman Canal and the broad waters of Indian River Bay and Rehoboth Bay. The map captures the significant residential development of Ocean View and Millville as they expand along Atlantic Ave, contrasted with protected marshlands like Mare Marsh and the Fresh Pond area.

Local history and genealogy interests are grounded in the locations of the Ocean View Presbyterian Cem and Banks Cem. The intricate network of coastal points and necks, such as Cedar Neck, Miller Neck, and Long Neck, illustrates the delicate balance of land and water in Sussex County. Landmarks like the C W Cullen Bridge at the Indian River Inlet serve as critical transit points in this maritime environment.
