2011 Map of Bennetts Pier

About this map

Bennetts Pier and Big Stone Beach anchor the thin coastal strip shown in this 2011 survey, where the Delaware shoreline meets the expansive waters of the Delaware Bay. The geography is defined by a delicate network of tidal wetlands and small points of land, including Sandy Point and Clark Point, which navigate the transition between land and sea. Further out in the bay, underwater or navigational features like Cedarbush Hole and Hawknest mark the coastal topography. This map documents a quiet, low-lying section of Kent County where small settlements are closely tied to the coastal environment of the Delaware coastline.
