1938 Map of Rehoboth

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The coastal landscapes of Sussex County, Delaware, are defined by the complex interface of the Rehoboth Bay and Indian River Bay just before mid-century. A network of rural one-room schoolhouses, such as Sunshine Sch, Cedar Grove Sch, and Muddy Neck Sch, illustrates the distributed settlement pattern of the interior necks and points. Transit is anchored by the Pennsylvania and Lewes Road and regional hubs like Dagsboro and Frankford. Along the Atlantic, the barrier beach is sparsely developed, with Coast Guard stations patrolling the shoreline near Dewey Beach and Bethany Beach. The map details the intricate topography of the inland "necks," including Indian River Neck and Miller Neck, which were largely agrarian and maritime-focused during this period.
