2011 Map of Disputanta South

About this map

The low-lying hydrology of Sussex County dominates this 2011 survey, where complex drainages like Warwick Swamp and Joseph Swamp weave between scattered rural crossroads. The settlement of Newville serves as a southern anchor, located near the Newville Cemetery and the intersection of Beef Steak Rd. To the north, the area around Disputanta is marked by the Disputanta Post Office and nearby Wright Pond. This landscape is defined by its historical water management, evidenced by features such as Nebletts Millpond, Josephs Mill Pond, and several local dams including Van Metre Dam and Nebletts Dam. Genealogists may find interest in the documented crossroads and family-named infrastructure, such as Cooks Bridge and the Centerville Cemetery, which illustrate the long-standing community footprint within the region's dense network of branches and swamps.
