About this map

Middletown serves as the central hub for this modern survey of New Castle County, showing a landscape defined by its historical waterways and agricultural foundations. The Appoquinimink River and its various tributaries like Drawyer Creek and Hangmans Run wind through the terrain, with Silver Lake and Wiggins Mill Pond highlighting the importance of managed water for early industry at Wiggins Mill. The map documents numerous burial sites vital for genealogical research, including Saint Annes Cem, Forest Cem, and Drawer Cem.

Infrastructure is represented by a network of regional airports such as Okolona Plantation Airport and McKeown Airport, while residential growth appears in established areas like Odessa, Townsend, and Odessa Heights. Distinctive land features such as Vance Neck and Gander Hill provide a sense of the low-lying coastal plain geography. The layout of roads like Summit Bridge Rd and Dupont Pky connects these smaller settlements, reflecting the corridor's role as a primary transit route through the Delmarva Peninsula.
