USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Pennsylvania railroad tracks bisect the New Castle County landscape, connecting the agricultural hubs of Middletown and Townsend during the early 1950s. This survey reveals a transition from traditional rural patterns to modern corridors, as the Dupont Parkway cuts through older settlements like McDonough and Fieldsboro. The geography is defined by a series of creeks flowing east toward the Delaware River, including the Appoquinimink River and Blackbird Creek, which provided historical access points such as Blackbird Landing.
