About this map

The Indian River serves as a central waterway for this portion of the Delmarva Peninsula, where the town of Millsboro sits at the confluence of several vital freshwater systems. The map details a landscape heavily defined by its drainage network, including Millsboro Pond, Betts Pond, and the Whartons Branch. These water bodies are flanked by established residential areas like Riverview and Holiday Acres, alongside smaller crossroads such as Phillips Hill and Mission.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed placement of local burial grounds, including the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cem and the Order United American Men Cem. The map also traces a complex system of agricultural and swamp drainage ditches, such as Houston-Thorogood Ditch and Cypress Farms Ditch, which reveal how the wetlands of the Cypress Swamp and Burnt Swamp have been managed over time. Major transit is anchored by Dupont Blvd and historic local routes like Nine Foot RD.
