The coastal plains of Sussex County are defined here by the intricate network of tidal creeks and inlets feeding into Rehoboth Bay. This mid-1980s survey captures a landscape of inland settlements like Jimtown, Belltown, and Hollyville, many of which grew around rural social centers like the Indian Mission Ch and St Georges Chapel. The local economy of the era is visible through the Delaware Coast Line railroad and numerous sandpits, while the shoreline is dotted with historic landings such as Webb Landing, Fisher Landing, and Robinson Landing.
