2014 Map of Fairmount

About this map

Rehoboth Bay and its complex network of inlets define this portion of the Delmarva Peninsula, where the landscape transitions from established inland settlements to coastal residential pockets. Historic water features like Goslee Mill Pond and Red Mill Pond sit adjacent to small communities such as Robinsonville and Jimtown. The eastern edge of the map reveals a dense pattern of maritime-oriented growth, including Angola by the Bay and The Woods on Herring Creek, showcasing how the shoreline along Herring Creek and Guinea Creek has been developed into numerous distinct neighborhoods. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, such as Saint Georges Cem near The Willows and Friendship Cem in the south, providing a detailed record of the region's community landmarks.
