About this map

The Nanticoke River corridor in central Sussex County serves as the primary geography for this detailed survey, documenting the transition from the city of Seaford into the surrounding agricultural landscape of the Delmarva Peninsula. The map highlights a dense network of residential subdivisions and historical hamlets, including Middleford, Concord, and Bridgeville. Local heritage is anchored by significant sites like Hearns Mill and Lightfoots Furnace, which point to the region's industrial past alongside modern infrastructure such as the Huey Airport.

Transport and water management are prominent throughout the quadrangle, from the Conrail line and Sussex Hwy to an intricate system of drainage and irrigation features like Ake Ditch and the William H Newton Ditch. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds, including Odd Fellows Cem and Blades Cem, while recreation seekers can find Collins Mill Park and Fisher Mill Park along the numerous creek branches.
