About this map

Ellendale stands as a central hub on the Delmarva Peninsula in this modern survey of central Sussex County. The landscape is defined by the expansive Ellendale Swamp, which dominates the southern half of the quadrangle and influences the local drainage patterns. Water flows through a network of small creeks and ditches, including Gravelly Br, Maple Br, and the engineered Gravelly Ditch. These waterways reflect the agricultural and natural heritage of the region, where low-lying terrain necessitated complex water management.

Rural settlements and neighborhoods like New Market, Greentop, and Hudson Pond Acres are scattered along the road network. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies several local burial sites, including Ellendale Cem, New Market Cem, and Banning Cem. Significant landmarks such as Clendaniel Pond and the small hamlet of Oakley provide further points of reference in this coastal plain environment.
