About this map

Harrington sits at the heart of this landscape on the Delmarva Peninsula, serving as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural and residential crossroads of Kent County. The geography is defined by a dense network of slow-moving waterways and wetlands, including the northward-flowing Murderkill River and its feeder streams like Black Swamp Cr. To the south, the terrain drains toward the Nanticoke River via Beaverdam Br, illustrating the subtle drainage divide that characterizes this part of the coastal plain.

Smaller settlements and named intersections such as Marvels Crossroads, Melvins Crossroads, and Six Forks reflect the historic pattern of rural development along early transport routes. Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks including Hollywood Cem near the town center and Thistlewood Cem to the northeast. The presence of Belfair Airport and the expansive waters of Killen Pond further highlight the varied land use between traditional farming communities and modern infrastructure.
