About this map

The salt marshes and coastal inlets of Rehoboth Bay define this mid-century landscape in Sussex County, where the transition from inland agriculture to maritime life is clearly visible. The area is marked by numerous family-named landings and points, such as Robinson Ldg and Sloan Ldg, which dot the complex shoreline of Angola Neck and Long Neck. Transport by air and rail was firmly established by the 1940s, evidenced by the Rehoboth Airport CAP and the Willowmer Seaplane Base, while the (Delmarva Division) of the Pennsylvania Railroad served inland settlements like Cool Spring and Pinetown. Social and community hubs were well-distributed through small rural centers including Robinsonville, Hollymount, and Belltown. Local industrial and civic history is grounded in features like the Gosling Mill and the Cool Spring Grange, while the presence of the Drawbridge School and Eldorado Sch highlights the educational geography of the era.
