1918 Map of Rehoboth

USGS Topo · Published 1934

About this map

The coastal Sussex County landscape unfolds through a network of shallow bays and small school districts during this early twentieth-century survey. Rehoboth Bay and Indian River Bay dominate the topography, separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a thin barrier strand featuring the Indian River Inlet. The Pennsylvania Railroad serves the interior, connecting settlements like Dagsboro and Frankford. Cultural landmarks of the era are densely mapped, including the Grange Hall, Trinity Church, and numerous small local education centers such as the Mary Martin School, Cedar Grove School, and Antioch School. Along the coast, the early development of Rehoboth, Dewey Beach, and Bethany Beach is visible alongside multiple Coast Guard Sta installations. This map documents a transitional period when the region's economy relied on both the rail lines and the maritime geography of its complex inland necks, including Pine Neck and White Neck.
