About this map

Middletown serves as the central hub of this northern Delaware landscape, where the suburban expansion of the Delmarva Peninsula meets a legacy of agricultural and maritime history. The town is surrounded by several satellite settlements including Odessa, Townsend, and Armstrong, linked by the prominent corridor of the S Dupont Pkwy. The mapping of numerous local graveyards, such as Saint Annes Cem, Forest Cem, and Drawyer Cem, provides a detailed geographic record for genealogical research in New Castle County.

Water defines the eastern and southern reaches of the quadrangle, where the Appoquinimink River and its various tributaries like Drawyer Creek and Hangmans Run carve through the terrain toward Vance Neck. Industrial and local history is anchored by sites like Wiggins Mill and Wiggins Mill Pond, while the presence of small airfields such as Okolona Plantation Airport and Mckeown Airport speaks to the region's mid-century and modern infrastructure development.
