About this map

Silver Lake and the Saint Jones River anchor the heart of Delaware’s capital, where the city’s residential expansion meets the tidal wetlands of the Delmarva Peninsula. The map details a landscape transition from the established government center at Capitol Green to the burgeoning suburban developments of Bicentennial Village, Towne Point, and East Lake Gardens. This 2019 survey captures the modern footprint of the First State National Historical Park, reflecting the preservation of the state's earliest political history amid contemporary growth.

Agricultural heritage remains visible through the inclusion of an Amish Cem and smaller crossroad settlements like Cheswold and Leipsic. Waterways such as the Little River and Puncheon Run define the drainage patterns of the coastal plain, while aviation infrastructure is represented by the Delaware Airpark to the northwest. Genealogists will find numerous burial grounds mapped in detail, including Sunset Memorial Gardens Cem and Whatcoat Cem.
