1956 Map of Ben Davis Point

About this map

Cohansey River meets the salt marshes of Cumberland County in this 1956 survey, revealing a landscape defined by tidal creeks and coastal points. Small outposts of human activity like Loyds Corner and Husted Landing are connected by narrow routes such as Back Neck Road, while the shoreline is punctuated by Cohansey Pt and Ben Davis Pt. This era shows the coastal environment before significant modern alteration, where maritime navigation relied on the Cohansey Outer Lt (C) and Cohansey Inner Lt (C). The intricate drainage pattern of Lawrence Creek and Abbot Creek demonstrates the complex topography of the Fairfield and Lawrence townships as they give way to Delaware Bay.
