1948 Map of Fairmount
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Rehoboth Bay and its intricate network of tidal creeks and marshes define the landscape of eastern Sussex County just after World War II. The map reveals a transition between the established agricultural interior and the emerging coastal infrastructure of the era, marked by the Rehoboth Airport and the Willowmer Seaplane Base. Inland, the economy is centered on small communities like Robinsonville and Fairmount, with local social life anchored by institutions such as the Cool Spring Grange, Nassau Sch, and the Harmony Church.
