About this map

Lincoln Village and the town of Ellendale anchor this part of Sussex County, where the landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of the Delaware watershed. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous waterways including Cedar Creek, Gum Branch, and Gravelly Branch, which feed into local landmarks like Cubbage Pond and Clendaniel Pond. This era shows a community structured around these water resources, with infrastructure such as the Cubbage Pond Dam and Swiggetts Pond Dam regulating the flow toward the coast.

Local genealogy and history are well-preserved through a network of burial grounds, such as the Banning Cemetery and Faith Cemetery, alongside smaller settlements like Oakley, New Market, and Robbins. The map documents a mix of established residential areas like Hudson Pond Acres and Walkers Acres, reflecting the local development patterns and the importance of postal hubs at the Lincoln Post Office and Ellendale Post Office for rural connectivity.
