About this map

Cohansey Light Old Light stands at the mouth of Cohansey Creek, marking a vital maritime corridor during this late nineteenth-century survey of the Delaware River shoreline. The landscape is defined by the intricate tidal networks of Stow Creek and Mad Horse Creek, where extensive marshes separate the river from upland agricultural settlements. Inland, the arrival of the New Jersey Southern Railroad connects small communities like Roadstown, Shiloh, and Greenwich to the larger regional economy.
