About this map

Milton and the surrounding coastal plains of Sussex County are defined by a complex network of wetlands and tidal waters where the Broadkill River and Slaughter Creek approach the Delaware Bay. The landscape is a mosaic of family-named landmarks and old crossroads, including Argo Corners, Jefferson Crossroads, and Anderson Crossroads. These small settlements are often anchored by long-standing religious and fraternal sites such as Reynolds Methodist Episcopal Church Cem and the Odd Fellows Cem.

The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, featuring a labyrinth of named ponds like Waples Pond, Noah Pond, and Teal Pond. Local history is etched into the terrain through features like Broadkill Neck and Pikes Neck, alongside small elevations such as Rattlesnake Hill and Oak Hill. From the mill site at Reynolds Mill to the small community at Cave Colony, the map documents the persistent human presence within a shifting coastal environment.
