About this map

Millsboro serves as the focal point of this modern survey on the Delmarva Peninsula, where the Indian River begins its eastward flow toward the coast. The town's layout and its proximity to Riverview and Holiday Acres highlight the ongoing residential development within Sussex County. Local genealogy is well-documented here through numerous dedicated sites, including Saint Marks Episcopal Church Cem and the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cem.

The landscape transitions from the developed corridors of Millsboro and Dagsboro into the dense, low-lying wetlands of the south. This area is defined by the Cypress Swamp and Burnt Swamp, a complex drainage network managed by features like Cypress Farms Ditch and Whartons Ditch. Smaller historically named settlements such as Phillips Hill, Askecksy, and Mission are interspersed among these watercourses, illustrating the traditional rural settlement patterns that persist alongside contemporary growth.
