1948 Map of Frankford
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
The tidal creeks and marshlands of Indian River Bay define this post-war landscape in Sussex County. The convergence of land and water is marked by several narrow peninsulas, including White Neck and Piney Neck, which were increasingly accessible via the Du Pont Highway. The area reflects a coastal economy in transition, where established inland settlements like Frankford and Dagsboro are complemented by shoreline developments at Oak Orchard and Rosedale Beach. Local education and faith are central to the map's layout, with the John M Clayton School, Antioch School, and St Georges Church serving as community anchors.
