About this map

The town of Smyrna anchors this portion of the Delmarva Peninsula, where the landscape transitions from established residential corridors to the marshy lowlands of the Delaware River coast. Waterways like the Smyrna River and Duck Creek wind toward the Delaware Bay, shaping the development of early outposts such as Smyrna Landing and Deakyneville. The map captures a detailed modern transport network centered on S Dupont Pkwy and Dupont Blvd, while smaller settlements like Brick Store and Big Oak Corners maintain the area's rural character.

Local history is preserved in the naming of several "necks"—narrow land segments between marshy tributaries—including Thoroughfare Neck and Severson Neck. The area around Smyrna Airport and Mill Creek reveals the density of smaller communities like Spruance City and Lawndale, contrasting with the more isolated crossroads and landings that have defined this coastal Delaware geography for generations.
