About this map

The town of Middletown serves as the hub of this New Castle County landscape, appearing as a maturing residential and educational center during the early 1990s. The map highlights the town's historical foundations through numerous sites of worship and remembrance, including Old St Annes Ch and the adjacent Old St Annes Cem south of the main settlement. Educational institutions like Redding Sch and St Andrews Sch on the shores of Noxontown Lake indicate the area's development beyond its agricultural roots.

Rural life still defines much of the surrounding territory, where family-named junctions such as Mathews Corners and Naylors Corners mark the intersections of old country roads. To the south, the village of Townsend is clearly defined, while the eastern edge of the sheet follows the meandering course of the Appoquinimink River near Odessa. Traces of earlier industry remain visible at Wiggins Mill and Wiggins Mill Pond, showing how local water power once anchored the community.
