About this map

Sussex County's coastal landscape is defined by the heavy marshlands and high peninsulas of the Delaware Bay shoreline, as surveyed just before the end of the First World War. The region is divided by distinct necks of land, most notably Mispillion Neck and Slaughter Neck, where early maritime commerce centered on the Mispillion River and its lighthouse, Mispillion River LH. In the interior, the P. B. and W. RR links the thriving centers of Milford and Milton, while a dense network of country schools like Sour Apple Tree School and Shingle School serves the surrounding timber and agricultural lands.
