2023 Map of Harbeson

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The agricultural and transit corridor east of Georgetown is defined by a dense network of drainage ditches and branches that supported Sussex County farming for generations. The Delmarva Peninsula rail line cuts through the landscape, anchoring small settlements like Bennum and Saulsbury Switch. These hamlets, along with Harbeson and Gravel Hill, reflect a historical reliance on rail and road junctions for commerce and local identity. The map reveals the intricate water management of the region, where Dutton Ditch, Sackorockets Ditch, and Eli Walls Ditch navigate the low-lying terrain to feed into larger veins like Beaverdam Creek. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including the Sand Hill Cem and Stockley Cem, which are often the last standing markers of earlier residential clusters like Sand Hill and Stockley.
