About this map

The coastal wetlands and tidal guts of Cumberland County define this landscape, where the Delaware Bay meets an intricate network of waterways like Nantuxent Creek and Beadon Creek. The settlement of Cedarville serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller communities such as Newport, Lummistown, and New England Crossroads. This coastal area is deeply connected to its maritime environment, featuring several prominent necks and points including Sayres Neck, Newport Neck, and Fortescue Neck.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks for research, including the Old Stone Church Cem and Cedar Hill Cem. The map illustrates the transition from inland agricultural or wooded areas to the vast marshlands of The Glades. Notable industrial and transportation history is evidenced by Shaws Mill Pond and the small-scale aviation history at Dave's Aerodrome. The shoreline itself is a focal point, reaching out to Gandys Beach and Nantuxent Point, showing the intersection of human settlement and the changing tides of the bay.
