About this map

Harrington serves as the central hub of this Kent County landscape, where the Delaware State Fairgrounds and the Harrington Post Office mark the town's social and civic heart. The surrounding countryside is a network of small residential clusters and agricultural crossings, including Reeves Crossing, Mastens Corner, and Melvins Crossroads. This era of development is characterized by numerous modern residential subdivisions such as Warrington Manor, Argos Choice, and Bloomfield Acres, which weave between established natural drainages like Browns Branch and Black Swamp Creek.

Water management is prominent along the Murderkill River, which is checked by the Killen Pond Dam and Coursey Pond Dam. To the south, the headwaters of the Nanticoke River begin to emerge near Powelton. Local industry is represented by the Barber Sand and Gravel Pit, while historical continuity is maintained through several well-marked burial grounds, including Hollywood Cemetery and the Griffiths Chapel Cemetery near Williamsville.
