About this map

Delmar straddles the Maryland-Delaware state line, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by its aviation and motorsport infrastructure. The area features a concentration of specialized facilities, including the Delmar State Line Airport, the Delaware International Raceway, and the US 13 Dragway, which sit just north of the border. This 2011 survey reveals an intricate network of residential subdivisions and estates that have grown around the agricultural and natural corridors of the Delmarva Peninsula, such as Greenwood Manor, Stellas Venture, and Santa Fe Acres.

Water management and local history are etched into the terrain through features like the Leonard Pond Dam and the Parsons Cemetery Johnson Dam. Numerous small cemeteries, including Saint Stephens Cemetery and Oliphant Cemetery, offer vital points of interest for genealogical research. The drainage patterns of the North Prong Wicomico River and its various tributaries like Meadow Branch and Vena Gains Branch weave through the suburban developments, illustrating the modern character of this interstate community.
