About this map

The Chester River forms the southern boundary of this Delmarva landscape, where the town of Millington sits at the junction of the Kent and Queen Annes county lines. To the north, the Sassafras River cuts into the coastal plain, marked by Budd Ldg and Wilson Point. The mid-century agricultural and transit patterns of the region are defined by the Penn Central rail line, which connects rural hubs like Massey and Golts.

Social centers are anchored by local landmarks such as St Clements Ch and Mission Ch, while the Millington Wildlife Demonstration Area indicates a shift toward conservation in the late 20th century. Scattered crossroads like Peacock Corners and Four Corners represent the small-scale settlement patterns typical of the Maryland-Delaware borderlands before modern suburban expansion significantly altered the terrain.
