1953 Map of Saint Georges

About this map

The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal dominates the mid-section of this New Castle County survey, illustrating the critical maritime corridor that bifurcates the Delaware landscape. At the center of this network lies the town of Saint Georges, positioned where the Dupont Parkway crosses the canal. The map reveals a transit-oriented geography, featuring the Pennsylvania railroad line connecting Glasgow Sta, Porter, and Kirkwood. Educational and social hubs are clearly marked, from the riverfront campus of Kings College to smaller local landmarks like the MacDonough Sch. To the south, agricultural and residential patterns emerge around Boyds Corner and Mt Pleasant, while local history is preserved in sites such as Hickory Grove Cem and Peneader Ch. The presence of Lums Millpond and numerous runs like Dragon Creek and Scott Run define the area's drainage into the larger canal system.
