1931 Map of Smyrna
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
Smyrna and the surrounding agricultural districts of Kent and New Castle Counties are shown here during a period of significant transition in Delaware's transportation infrastructure. The Pennsylvania Railroad runs through the heart of the region, supporting agricultural hubs like Townsend and Middletown, while the newly established Dupont Highway signals the rising dominance of motor travel. Along the tidal reaches of Appoquinimink Creek and Blackbird Creek, a series of landings—including Blackbird Landing and Flemings Landing—reveal the persistent importance of waterborne trade in the low-lying coastal marshes.
