About this map

Selbyville sits at the heart of this coastal borderland, where the boundary between Delaware and Maryland divides Sussex and Worcester counties. The landscape is defined by the transition from agricultural fields and woodlots like White Oak Swamp to the tidal reaches of the St Martin River. In the early 1990s, the southern portion of the map shows significant residential development at Ocean Pines and South Ocean Pines, contrasting with the established rural character of Roxana and Bishopville.

Genealogists will find numerous small landmarks, including Thessalonia Ch, Old St Martins Ch, and the Red Men Cem. Transport and industry are marked by the Warrington Airfield and numerous sandpits and gravel pits scattered across the sandy soils. The intricate waterways, from the Bishopville Prong to the Shingle Landing Prong, illustrate the importance of the river systems that drain toward the Atlantic coast.
