About this map

The Mispillion River serves as the dividing line between Kent Co and Sussex Co, winding through the heart of Milford. This 2023 survey reveals a landscape where modern residential expansion meets colonial-era roots, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries and churches concentrated near the river corridor. Significant burial sites such as the Old Community Cem, Milford Community Cem, and the Methodist Episcopal Cem offer essential data for genealogists tracing family lineages in this part of the Delmarva Peninsula.

Away from the town center, smaller settlements like Lynch Heights, Frederica, and Spring Hill are connected by a network of rural roads such as Bay Rd. The surrounding terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and swamps, including Big Cripple Swamp and Brookonbridge Gut, which have historically influenced the patterns of agricultural and residential development seen in neighborhoods like Evergreen Acres and Wisseman Acres.
