1917 Map of Millsboro
USGS Topo · Published 1917About this map
Georgetown serves as the central hub of this Sussex County landscape during the Great War era, positioned where the Pennsylvania Railroad intersects a complex network of named ditches and branches. The settlement pattern is defined by dozens of crossroads and small family-named stops such as Redden Crossroads, Jones Crossroads, and Shortly. This survey reveals a high density of rural institutions, with more than thirty individual schools like the Isaacs School and Mission Hill School scattered across the interior. To the east, the headwaters of the Indian River form at Millsboro, where Millsboro Pond and Betts Pond collect the waters of the Stockley Branch and Vines Branch. Significant wetland areas like the Cedar Creek and the Pocomoke River headwaters dominate the southern terrain, illustrating the hydrological management through projects like the Mifflin Ditch and Layton Ditch.
