1955 Map of Harbeson
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
The Pennsylvania railroad corridor defines the mid-century landscape of Sussex County, connecting small hamlets and agricultural transit points like Harbeson, Broadkill Sta, and Saulsbury Switch. This 1955 survey illustrates a rural Delaware transition where traditional water-powered sites such as Morris Mill and Hunters Millpond coexist with modern developments like the Georgetown Municipal Airport and the Delmarva Raceway. The map provides a detailed view of social infrastructure, locating the Hospital For The Mentally Retarded and the County Prison Farm near the Dupont Highway. A complex network of drainage ditches, including Dutton Ditch and Peterkins Ditch, crisscrosses the agrarian districts, while rural spiritual life is anchored by St John Ch and Bethesda Ch.
