Explore Rising Sun-Lebanon, Delaware, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Rising Sun-Lebanon, Delaware. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Delaware or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Rising Sun-Lebanon.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Rising Sun-Lebanon occupies a quiet stretch of land where the horizon remains defined by the persistent, low-slung presence of the inland plains. It lies 3.9 miles south of Dover, DE (from Dover, DE: bearing 172°T), and is situated 1.7 miles east-southeast of Camden. Tidbury Creek carves a meditative path through the local topography, its slow-moving waters offering a constant, hushed rhythm to the surrounding fields. The light at dusk here possesses a particular, honeyed quality, catching the edges of the open acreage and softening the silhouettes of the trees that guard the perimeter of Allen Frear Elementary School. Beyond the immediate vicinity, the distant silhouette of Cabin Ridge offers a faint, serrated edge to the far-off western sky, providing a sense of scale to the expansive, level earth. Travelers who venture further afield might find the denser timber of Blackbird State Forest, yet the immediate landscape of Rising Sun-Lebanon retains a singular, open composure, punctuated only by the subtle shimmer of Voshell Pond just a mile away.
Agricultural heritage remains the steady pulse of the local economy, with the land yielding to the careful stewardship of those who have long worked these fertile, dark soils. Rising Sun-Lebanon maintains a character shaped by the steady, unadorned work of the interior, favoring a pace that respects the seasonal shifts of the crop cycles. The presence of the school grounds serves as a focal point for the community, anchoring the daily movement of families amidst the broader, more industrial influence of the broiler-chicken industry that defines much of the regional output. History here is found not in grand monuments, but in the enduring utility of the fields and the reliable flow of the creek, which has long served as a quiet witness to the generations who have built their lives upon this flat, productive ground.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
