About this map

Indian River Bay and its intricate network of coves and necks dominate this coastal Sussex County landscape. Along the southern shore, the Nanticoke Indian Center stands near Harmon, marking a significant cultural anchor in the region. The interior is defined by a series of peninsulas like Long Neck and Pine Neck, separated by tidal waters such as Pepper Creek and Champlin Creek.

Settlement patterns in the early 1980s show established communities at Dagsboro, Frankford, and Millsboro, with the Conrail line providing a transit spine through the western corridor. The presence of numerous historic rural houses of worship, including the Prince George Chapel and Antioch Ch, alongside family landmarks like Carey Cem, provides deep genealogical value for those tracing the families of the Delaware shore. Recreational and maritime growth is evident at Holts Landing State Park and the developing waterfronts of Oak Orchard and Rosedale Beach.
