About this map

Georgetown serves as the focal point of this Sussex County landscape, where the Delaware Coast Line RR intersects with a network of local crossroads and expansive woodlands. The surrounding area is characterized by the significant presence of the Redden State Forest and Ellendale State Forest, which dominate the northern and eastern portions of the map. These forests are segmented by an intricate system of man-made waterways like Willin Ditch and Mifflin Ditch, reflecting long-term efforts to manage the low-lying terrain for timber and agriculture.

Institutional growth is evident through the campus of Delaware Tech and Comm College and the Sussex Co Voc-Tech Sch. Smaller rural settlements such as Kings Crossroads, Cedar Corners, and Knowles Crossroads provide points of interest for genealogists tracing family names in the region. Spiritual and community life is anchored by various country churches, including Hebron Ch and Asbury Ch, while local landmarks like the Radio Tower (WZBH) mark the transition into the late 20th century.
