1953 Map of Saint Georges
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal serves as the dominant structural element of this New Castle County landscape, severing the coastal plain and dictating the placement of critical crossings like Summit Bridge. This mid-century survey, updated with 1970 revisions, illustrates a region transitioning from its agricultural roots toward suburban and industrial expansion. The Penn Central rail line connects established nodes like Kirkwood, Porter, and Glasgow Sta, while the development at Reybold and Corbit reflects the growing industrial footprint near the water. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of rural centers such as Red Lion and MacDonough, alongside traditional landmarks like St Paul Ch and the Hickory Grove Cem. The presence of Summit Airfield and the expansion of Lums Pond indicate the diversifying land use in the areas surrounding Mt Pleasant and Boyds Corner.
