About this map

Millsboro and Dagsboro anchor this mid-century portrait of Sussex County, where the Pennsylvania railroad and the Dupont Highway slice through a landscape defined by intricate drainage networks. The headwaters of the Indian River are fed by numerous family-named and functional waterways like Betts Pond and Waples Pond, while the southern reaches transition into the dense Burnt Swamp. This environment dictated a settlement pattern of small, dispersed communities such as Phillips Hill, Mission, and Shaft Ox Corner.
