2019 Map of Fairmount

About this map

The eastern edge of the Delmarva Peninsula reveals a complex network of wetlands and tidal inlets as they appeared in 2019. The landscape is defined by the branching waters of Herring Creek and Guinea Creek, which carve into the terrain to create distinct landforms like Pine Water Neck and Angola Neck. This survey documents a mix of long-established crossroads and newer residential developments. Local history is anchored by sites such as Indian Mission and Goslee Mill, while the presence of several cemeteries—including Saint Georges Cem and Ebenezer Cem—provides vital points of interest for genealogical research. The map also shows the transition from the marshy edges of Rehoboth Bay to inland settlements like Fairmount and Hollymount, illustrating how the coastal geography has dictated the pattern of roads and communities in this part of Sussex County.
