1956 Map of Bennetts Pier

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Milford Neck and the tidal marshes of Kent County define this 1956 coastal survey, capturing the Delaware shoreline before late-century development and environmental shifts. The small waterfront settlement of Bennetts Pier sits at the edge of the Delaware Bay, connected by a network of drainage channels and wetlands including Brockonbridge Gut. The map reveals a transition from the terrestrial landscape of District No 10 to the vast underwater topography of the bay, where depth soundings and contour lines trace the floor near Blake Channel.
