About this map

The Harrington city center, featuring the Baptist Ch and City Hall, anchors this landscape at the intersection of local industry and agriculture. Large State Fairgrounds dominate the southern edge of the city, while the surrounding Kent County countryside is dotted with long-established family crossroads like Melvins Crossroads and Marvels Crossroads. To the east, the village of Houston sits along the rail line, surrounded by drainage systems such as Messicks Ditch and Beaverdam Branch.

Water management and recreation define the northern reaches, where Killens Pond State Park surrounds the waters of Killens Pond and Killen Pond. The network of headwaters including Murderkill River and Marshyhope Creek illustrates the intricate hydrology of the Delmarva Peninsula. Researchers can trace rural settlement patterns through named hamlets like Mastens Corner and Roesville, or locate family sites near numerous unnamed Cem markers and school sites like Lake Forest Sch.
