2016 Map of Bennetts Pier

About this map

Delaware Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the tidewaters meet the eastern edge of the Delmarva Peninsula. The landscape is defined by the marshy reaches of Milford Neck and several notable coastal projections, including Sandy Point and Clark Point. Human presence is concentrated at the small waterfront settlements of Bennetts Pier and Big Stone Beach, which are connected to the interior via local routes like Bennetts Pier Rd and Rd 418. The map illustrates the specialized estuarine environment of the region, where tidal waterways such as Brockonbridge Gut thread through the wetlands, and the deeper waters of Blake Channel lie just offshore, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to maritime navigation and the natural rhythms of the bay.
