About this map

The Broadkill River winds through this coastal Delaware landscape, anchoring the historic town of Milton. The map reveals a dense network of water bodies and wetlands characteristic of the Delmarva Peninsula, including Wagamons Pond and the extensive Broken Marshes to the east. Local history is preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds such as Hazzard Cem, Bethel Cem, and Siloam Cem, which are scattered among agricultural crossroads like Argo Corners and Jefferson Crossroads.

Further east, the terrain transitions into the coastal necks and islands of the Atlantic shore. Names like Primehook Neck, Cave Neck, and Broadkill Neck define the points of land between tidal creeks and marshes. Notable landmarks such as the Lavinla Causeway and remnants of the local industrial past at Reynolds Mill provide specific touchpoints for researchers tracing the evolution of Sussex County's rural and maritime infrastructure.
