The Atlantic coastline of Sussex County is defined here by the intricate branching of Rehoboth Bay and Indian River Bay, captured just before the mid-century surge in coastal development. The landscape is a patchwork of tidal marshes and named necks, such as Indian River Neck and Cedar Neck, where the local economy centered on the water and small rural hubs. Inland, the map reveals a high density of small-scale social infrastructure, including numerous rural schoolhouses like Sunshine Sch and Harmon Sch, alongside landmarks like Grange Hall near Hollyville.
