2019 Map of Bennetts Pier

About this map

Delmarva Peninsula's eastern edge meets the massive expanse of the Delaware Bay in this recent survey of Kent County's coastal lowlands. This region of Milford Neck is defined by its transition from tidal wetlands to the open waters of the bay, where the Delaware River flows southward into the Blake Channel. The map documents small coastal settlements like Bennetts Pier and Big Stone Beach, which represent some of the few landward points of access to this marshy shoreline. Inland, the landscape is primarily dominated by drainage patterns and local routes like Bennetts Pier Rd, which terminates at the waterfront. Features such as Sandy Point, Clark Point, and the offshore Hawknest provide essential reference points for understanding the shifting morphology of this Delaware shoreline and its maritime interfaces.
