2011 Map of Selbyville

About this map

Selbyville and Ocean Pines anchor this detailed study of the Delaware-Maryland border region during the early twenty-first century. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where Polly Branch and Carey Branch feed into a network of estuaries including the Saint Martin River and Teal Bay. This era shows significant residential development in communities like Bainbridge, Bay Colony, and Tanglewood, contrasting with the more established rural centers of Bishopville and Showell. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including the Old Saint Martins Cemetery and Red Men Cemetery. The coastal influence is evident in the transition from inland agricultural drainage, such as White Oak Swamp Ditch, to tidal features like Jenkins Neck and Manklin Moorings. Local infrastructure is well-documented, featuring multiple postal locations like the Showell Post Office and community landmarks including Warrington Field.
