About this map

Sassafras Neck and the intricate fingers of the Delmarva Peninsula define this landscape where Maryland and Delaware meet. Centered on the town of Cecilton, the map illustrates a region deeply connected to its coastal hydrology, with the broad Great Bohemia Creek and the Sassafras River framing the agricultural corridors. The presence of Saint Augustine and Warwick along established transit routes like Old Telegraph Rd highlights the long-standing settlement patterns of Cecil County and New Castle County.

Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local landmarks such as Bohemia Manor and the Saint Augustine Episcopal Cem. The map's detailed hydrography, including Little Bohemia Creek and Metton Pond, reveals how the tidal inlets shaped the placement of early communities and mills. From the eastern edge of Middletown to the rural crossings at Bohemias Mills, the survey provides a clear view of the interface between land and water in the modern era.
