2011 Map of Seaford West

About this map

Jacobs Crossroads and Clarksons Crossroads anchor the agricultural landscape of Sussex County in this 2011 survey of the Delaware-Maryland border. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Houston Branch, Brights Branch, and the Tanyard Branch, which historically shaped the placement of early settlements. Genealogists will find the Bethel Cemetery and Wright Cemetery clearly marked, along with established rural communities such as Oak Grove and Reliance. To the south, Woodland Station and Craigs Mill point to the region's historical reliance on milling and transport. The map also records more modern residential developments such as Shuffelt Acres and Devonshire Woods, documenting the gradual transition from traditional farming tracts to organized neighborhood properties.
