Delmar sits at the heart of the Delmarva Peninsula, straddling the historic boundary between Sussex County, Delaware, and Wicomico County, Maryland. This 2019 survey documents the transition from the southern outskirts of Salisbury to the agricultural reaches of Saint George and Smith Hill. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of the North Prong Wicomico River, including Leonard Pond Run and Peggy Br. Local history is preserved in small family and community burial grounds such as the Nichols Family Cem and Oliphant Cem. Aviation history is also present, with Bennett Airport and Ennis Aerodrome serving the region. Residential clusters like Maple Plains, Sherwood Manor, and Chesapeake Heights show the modern expansion of the Salisbury metropolitan area into the surrounding plains.
