2019 Map of Frankford

About this map

Indian River Bay dominates the landscape of this Sussex County coastal region, where a complex network of points and necks defines the interface between land and water. The northeastern reaches include waterfront communities like Long Neck and Oak Orchard, while the south is anchored by the historic inland settlements of Frankford and Dagsboro. Along the serpentine banks of Vines Creek and Pepper Creek, numerous points such as Ballast Point and Holland Point mark the winding coastline. Family history is etched into the terrain at sites like Saint Georges Cem near Clarksville and Millsboro Cem to the northwest. This modern survey illustrates how traditional agriculture and rural crossroads like Omar and Bayard coexist with more recent residential developments such as Sherwood Acres. The landscape remains tied to its maritime roots through features like Ferry Cove and the Townsend Bridge, which spans the transition from tidal marsh to established farmland.
