1953 Map of Saint Georges

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal cuts a massive horizontal path across this landscape, serving as the dominant geographic and economic feature for Saint Georges and the surrounding countryside. This 1950s survey, updated with purple photorevisions from 1970, shows the mid-century evolution of New Castle County as residential and industrial expansion began to press against traditional agricultural boundaries. Near Summit Bridge, the Summit Airfield and the sprawling waters of Lums Pond indicate the area's transition toward recreation and modern infrastructure.
