1938 Map of Rehoboth

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Rehoboth Bay and Indian River Bay dominate this coastal Sussex County survey, revealing the delicate balance between the Atlantic shoreline and the inland agricultural communities during the late 1930s. The Pennsylvania RR cuts through the northern landscape, serving the growing resort at Rehoboth, while a network of rural schools like Sunshine Sch, Mary Martin Sch, and Bellmouth Sch serve the interior farming districts. The map documents an era of maritime transition, showing multiple Coast Guard Sta locations along the barrier beach and the vital Indian River Inlet connecting the marshes to the Atlantic Ocean. Inland, concentrated settlements such as Dagsboro and Frankford act as hubs for the surrounding countryside, which is marked by numerous family-named necks and landings, including Pine Neck and Downs Landing.
