1954 Map of Fairmount

About this map

Rehoboth Bay and the tidal reaches of Love Creek define this section of the Delaware coast, where a network of inland landings once supported the local economy. The landscape is dotted with rural community anchors like the Indian Mission Ch and Cool Spring Grange, alongside several local schools including Drawbridge Sch and Rabbits Ferry Sch. Settlement patterns are concentrated around small crossroads like Fairmount and Robinsonville, with numerous named landings such as Webb Landing and Fisher Landing marking the transition from land to water. The map traces the Conrail line through the northern reaches near Pinetown, while the southern portion is characterized by the expansive Long Neck peninsula between Herring Creek and Guinea Creek. These features illustrate the deep-seated maritime and agricultural character of Sussex County before significant modern development altered the shoreline.
