1992 Map of Ellendale

About this map

The Ellendale State Forest dominates this Sussex County landscape, preserving a network of wetlands and drainage patterns that defined the region's development. Centered on the town of Ellendale, the map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the numerous country churches like Mount Zion Ch and New Shiloh Ch. The hydrology of the area is intricate, with Beaver Dam Branch and Sowbridge Branch carving through the low-lying terrain toward various mill ponds. Genealogists can find significant detail in the placement of several burial grounds, including the Ellendale Cem and Faith Cem near Robbins. To the north, the transition from woodland to agriculture is marked by the presence of Clendaniel Pond and Cubbage Pond near the settlement of Lincoln.
