2019 Map of Newark East

About this map

White Clay Creek and the Christina River dominate this modern landscape in New Castle County, tracing a path through a dense network of suburban residential developments and historical crossroads. The map reveals the deep-seated settlement patterns of the Delmarva Peninsula, where established communities like Corner Ketch, Mermaid, and Milltown sit amidst a modern grid of named neighborhoods. Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with several significant burial grounds preserved within the urban fabric, including Ebenezer Cem, Saint James Cem, and the Salem-Methodist Cem. Industrial and transport history is represented by the B & O RR corridor, while the unusual naming of Bread and Cheese Island and features like Smalleys Pond provide specific landmarks for local historians and researchers tracking land use and water resources in this part of Delaware.
