2014 Map of Seaford West

About this map

The Delaware and Maryland border defines the character of this landscape on the Delmarva Peninsula, where rural crossroads and agricultural hamlets like Atlanta and Oak Grove sit within a network of historic drainage ditches and small branches. The map highlights the western periphery of Seaford, extending toward the state line and the neighboring community of Federalsburg. Local history is visible in the placement of the Bethel Cem and Wright Cem, along with older settlement patterns near Jacobs Crossroads and Clarksons Crossroads. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the wetlands and millponds of the Nanticoke watershed, including Craigs Pond at Craigs Mill and the slow-moving waters of Wrights Millpond Br. This 2014 survey documents the modern layout of residential areas such as Heritage Village and Devonshire Woods as they expand into the traditional woodlots and fields of Sussex County.
