1954 Map of Trap Pond

About this map

Trap Pond and the surrounding Delaware State Park serve as the central landmarks of this Sussex County landscape. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage and natural waterways, including the Pocomoke River, Pepper Br, and Dukes Ditch, which underscore the low-lying nature of the region. This mid-century survey captures a rural community organized around traditional intersections and small local institutions. Numerous crossroads settlements such as Hardscrabble, Whaleys Crossroads, and Jones Crossroads anchor the agricultural districts, while local life is further evidenced by landmarks like the Ross Point Sch and several country churches including Mt Olivet Ch and St Thomas Ch. The map illustrates a period before significant suburbanization, where the rural road network followed the contours of streams and branches like Asketum Branch and Saunders Branch.
