1949 Map of Bennett's Pier
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Milford Neck dominates this coastal survey, where the marshlands of Kent County meet the expanse of the Delaware Bay. The shoreline transition is marked by remote outposts such as Bennetts Pier and Big Stone Beach, connected by thin routes across the wetlands. Inland from Sandy Point and Clark Point, the landscape is defined by the tidal flow of Brockonbridge Gut and the administrative boundaries of District No 10. This 1940s mapping, compiled by the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey using aerial photography and plane-table methods, captures the Delaware coast before modern development altered these low-lying marsh environments. The map provides a precise record of the shoreline's edge, noting specific markers like Stone 2 along the beach.
