About this map

Newark anchors this suburbanizing corridor of New Castle County, appearing here as a complex network of residential developments and institutional hubs during the early 1990s. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the John F Kennedy Memorial Highway and the Baltimore and Ohio RR, which cut through established areas like Ogletown and Brookside. Amidst this growth, significant local landmarks persist, including the Delaware Park (Race Track) and the Christiana Hospital complex.

Genealogists and local historians can trace many community focal points, from educational institutions like Goldey Beacom College and Delaware Technical and Community College to historic sacred spaces. The map details several burial grounds including All Saints Cemetery, Salem Cem, and Ebenezer Cem, alongside long-standing congregations such as White Clay Creek Ch and Holy Family Ch. The natural drainage of the Christina River and the curiously named Bread and Cheese Island provide a topographical anchor to the densely labeled neighborhoods.
