About this map

Milford serves as the central hub of this coastal plain landscape, straddling the boundary between Kent Co and Sussex Co. The city is defined by its relationship with the Mispillion River, which feeds into Silver Lake and Haven Lake at the heart of the settlement. These water bodies, along with Marshall Millpond to the east, speak to the historic water-powered industry that once anchored the local economy. Beyond the urban center, the map reveals a post-war pattern of residential expansion, with numerous named developments like Wisseman Acres, Lakewood The Heath, and Evergreen Acres filling the spaces between established rural routes.

Agricultural heritage remains visible through features like the Old Baptist Church Br and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. To the north and west, smaller communities such as Houston, Spring Hill, and Thompsonville are connected by a web of rural roads and drainage features like Murderkill River and Browns Branch. This survey captures the transition of the Delmarva Peninsula from a strictly agrarian region to an increasingly suburbanized corridor.
