1984 Map of Seaford

About this map

Cape Henlopen and the intricate shoals of the Delaware Bay anchor this mid-1980s topographic study of the Delmarva Peninsula. The map reveals a landscape defined by its coastal marshes and an extensive network of inland waterways, including the Choptank River, Nanticoke River, and Indian River. While the Atlantic coast is dominated by Cape Henlopen State Park and the Rehoboth Bay, the interior is a mix of small settlements and managed lands like Redden State Forest and Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Regional connectivity is highlighted by the Conrail lines and highway arteries like Us 13. Notable historical and military landmarks appear across the terrain, from the site of Fort Saulsbury near the coast to aviation nodes like Ridgelys Pelican Airport. Small crossroads communities such as East New Market and Oakland illustrate the persistent settlement patterns of Sussex, Caroline, and Dorchester counties.
