1956 Map of Bennetts Pier
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Delaware Bay dominates this mid-century hydrographic and topographic study, where the shifting shoreline of Milford Neck meets the deep waters of Blake Channel. Centered on Bennetts Pier, the map illustrates a sparse coastal landscape defined by tidal marshes and small drainage channels like Brockonbridge Gut. The inland portion, designated as District No 10, shows a transition from wooded wetlands to more defined agricultural plots, connected by unimproved roads that terminate at the shore. This 1956 revision reflects the area's character before modern coastal development, preserving the positions of local landmarks like Sandy Pt and Clark Pt. Further south, the map captures the beginning of Big Stone Beach, providing a detailed record of the Delaware coastline's bathymetry and topography during the post-war era.
