About this map

The town of Delmar straddles the state line in the early 1990s, serving as a hub where the Delaware Maryland railroad line bisects a landscape of low-lying wetlands and agricultural tracts. To the north, Little Acres and St George occupy the level ground near Meadow Branch, while the southern reaches transition into the growing suburbs of Salisbury, including Hyde Park and Spring Hill Acres.

The presence of Leonards Mill and Williams Pd illustrates the historic reliance on the local waterway network, including the North Prong Wicomico River. The map documents a mix of community landmarks and utility, from the Delaware International Raceway and Wicomico Co Detention Center to local spiritual centers like Faith Ch and Charity Ch. Numerous small burial grounds, such as Oliphant Cem and Nichols Cem, provide valuable data for tracing local family history across the Sussex and Wicomico county line.
