About this map

Smyrna and Clayton serve as the primary hubs in this Delaware corridor where the New Castle County and Kent County line follows the winding course of the Smyrna River. This area is exceptionally dense with genealogical data, featuring numerous historic burial sites such as the Duck Creek Friends Burial Ground, Odd Fellows African American Cem, and the Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church Cem.

The landscape transitions from the developed centers of Spruance City and Cedarbrook Acres into the coastal marshlands of the Delmarva Peninsula, where necks of land like Thoroughfare Neck and Severson Neck reach toward the Delaware Bay. The presence of Smyrna Landing and the Smyrna Airport underscores the historical importance of both river-borne and modern transport to the region's economy. Smaller crossroads and settlements, including Deakyneville and Chambersville, anchor the surrounding agricultural and tidal terrain.
