About this map

Millsboro serves as the focal point for this Sussex County landscape, situated where the Indian River meets the freshwater headwaters of Millsboro Pond. The area is characterized by an extensive network of drainage ditches and branches, including Whartons Ditch, Sheep Pen Ditch, and Long Drain Ditch, illustrating the managed hydrology of Delaware’s coastal plain. Residential developments like Pine Lodge Addition and Oak Drive surround the town center, while peripheral settlements such as Mission, Phillips Hill, and Shaft Ox Corner reflect a more dispersed rural pattern.

Genealogical interest is supported by the presence of several burial sites, including the Order United American Men Cemetery and the Old Field Cemetery. The map also captures the transition from land to water at Old Landing and Possum Point, highlighting the geography of the river's upper reaches before it broadens toward the coast. Significant infrastructure like the Millsboro Post Office and various family-named subdivisions provide a detailed look at the community's contemporary layout.
