1944 Map of Milton

About this map

Milton serves as the focal point of this 1940s coastal survey, situated at the head of the Broadkill River and serving as a vital junction for the Pennsylvania Railroad. The map reveals a landscape defined by several prominent necks of land extending toward the marshes of the Delaware Bay, including Slaughter Neck and Primehook Neck. Local industry and infrastructure are evident through Reynolds Mill and numerous named landings such as Hevelo Ldg and Chemical Ldg, which reflect the historic river-based trade of Sussex County.
