About this map

The Mispillion River serves as the focal point for this Delaware landscape, marking the boundary between Kent and Sussex counties. The city of Milford sits at the heart of a hydrological network of millponds and lakes, including Haven Lake, Silver Lake, and Griffith Lake. These water bodies, along with Abbotts Mill to the southwest, reflect the area's early industrial reliance on water power. To the north, the terrain transitions into agricultural and residential pockets such as Chestnut Knoll and Dogwood Meadows.

Cultural landmarks are scattered throughout the region, from the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem in the city center to the Old Baptist Church Br further north. The coastal influence is felt at the Mispillion Marina and the low-lying wetlands of Cedar Neck, while inland settlements like Houston and Frederica anchor the surrounding rural corridors. The map provides a detailed view of these established communities just as modern suburban expansion begins to blend with traditional crossroads like Milford Crossing and Lynch Heights.
