How to Use This Riverview, Delaware Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Riverview, 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 Riverview.

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.

About Riverview, Delaware

Riverview is a locality in Sussex County, Delaware, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,458. The population density is 262.8 people per km². Riverview is located at 39.0304°N, 75.5186°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 19966, 19946.

Riverview anchors itself upon a flat, humid expanse where the dark, tannin-stained waters of the Iron Branch move with a sluggish, deliberate patience. It lies 24.3 miles south-southeast of Milford, DE (from Milford, DE: bearing 160°T), and is situated 9.5 miles southeast of Georgetown. The air here holds a heavy, salt-sweet moisture, carried inland from the distant expanse of Indian River Bay, while the horizon remains stubbornly level, broken only by the distant, hazy silhouette of Pine Ridge. A mile to the north, the calm, glassy surface of Millsboro Pond reflects the wide Delaware sky, offering a quiet counterpoint to the restless, brackish flow of the nearby tidal marshes. The landscape is defined by this intersection of earth and water, where the soil is porous and the shadows of late afternoon stretch long and thin across the low-lying fields.

Agriculture remains the quiet pulse of Riverview, where the legacy of the region’s broiler-chicken industry manifests in the long, low silhouettes of poultry houses that mark the periphery of the cultivated acreage. Life moves at the tempo of the seasons, shaped by the proximity of the Sussex Central Middle School, which serves as a central point of gravity for the families who have worked this damp, productive ground for generations. To the east, the low hum of activity drifts from the direction of Burton Island, a reminder of the shifting coastal tides that influence the local rhythm. Even as the modern world encroaches, the prevailing character of Riverview persists in the steady, pragmatic labor of its people and the enduring, silent presence of the waterways that define its boundaries.

About This Riverview Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Riverview, Delaware. Coordinates: 39.030435, -75.518649. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Riverview includes the ZIP code (19966, 19946), telephone area code (302), county seat of Sussex County (Georgetown), and school district assignment (Lake Forest School District).

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.
