About this map

Millsboro and the upper reaches of the Indian River define this coastal Sussex County landscape in the early 1990s. The area's intricate hydrologic network is mapped in detail, showing the many agricultural ditches and branches like Mirey Ditch and Vines Creek that drain the flat Atlantic Coastal Plain. Settlement is concentrated along the river and highways, including the community of Dagsboro and newer developments such as Riverview and Holiday Acres.

To the south, the terrain transitions into the dense Burnt Swamp, where the headwaters of the Pocomoke River begin their southward trek. Local institutions such as the Stockley Center Hosp, Sussex Central High Sch, and various country churches including St Luke Ch and West Woods Ch provide essential landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of these Delaware crossroads.
