1993 Map of Saint Georges

About this map

The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal dominates the southern landscape of New Castle County, serving as a massive industrial artery flanked by a complex system of levees. The early 1990s character of the region is defined by a transition from traditional agricultural tracts like Crystal Run Farm and Meadowbrook Farms to suburban developments such as Wrangle Hill Estates and Caravel Farms. Near the settlement of Saint Georges, the landscape reveals heavy industrial activity including a refinery and several industrial waste ponds, contrasting with the preserved woodlands of Lums Pond State Park and Red Lion State Forest. Local genealogy and community history are anchored by institutions like McDonough Sch, St Mary Ch, and several burying grounds including Hickory Grove Cem and Asbury Cem.
