1956 Map of Ben Davis Point

About this map

Back Neck and the expansive marshes of Cumberland County define this coastal landscape as it was documented in the mid-1950s. The region is dominated by the winding path of the Cohansey River, which flows past Ragged Island and Tindall Island before emptying into Delaware Bay. The intricate network of tidal waterways includes Back Creek, Middle Marsh Creek, and Drumbo Creek, reflecting the importance of water access for this low-lying territory. Small settlements like Sea Breeze and Husted Landing are connected by narrow roads such as Sea Breeze Road, while isolated landmarks like the Cohansey Outer Lt (C) and the Tower (E) at Pier Point provide essential navigational aids. This survey reveals a traditional economy tied to the shoreline, from the oyster beds of Oyster Gut to the remote docks at Loyds Corner.
