Sussex County
Sussex County, located in the southern part of Delaware, features a predominantly flat terrain characteristic of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The county's elevation ranges from sea level along the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay to approximately 79 feet (24 meters) above sea level at its highest points. This minimal elevation variation contributes to the region's extensive wetlands, including the Great Cypress Swamp, which harbors the northernmost strand of bald cypress trees in the United States. The county's landscape is further defined by its coastal beaches, inland agricultural fields, and numerous waterways, such as the Broadkill River and the Nanticoke River, which meander through the flat countryside.
