1930 Map of Wyoming

About this map

Dover serves as the focal point of this central Delaware landscape, where the Pennsylvania Railroad corridor facilitates the movement of goods between rural farmsteads and the capital. The area is defined by its transition from the Maryland border at Marydel through a network of small, crossroads settlements like Seven Hickories and Hazlettville. Local genealogy value is dense across the several numbered districts, featuring family-named landmarks such as Voshell Mill and Pearsons Corner. Educational and civic history is particularly well-documented, from the State College grounds north of the city to the County Poor Farm located between Wyoming and Camden. The map details a landscape of managed water, including Wyoming Lake and Silver Lake, alongside numerous country churches and schools like Byrn Zion Ch and Lockwood Sch that anchored these early 20th-century communities.
