1993 Map of Bennetts Pier

About this map

Milford Neck dominates the terrestrial landscape of this coastal survey, where the marshes of Kent County meet the vast waters of Delaware Bay. The map highlights a remote stretch of shoreline defined by small maritime outposts like Bennetts Pier and Big Stone Beach, both connected to the interior by simple 4wd tracks and Bennetts Pier Road. A Lookout Tower stands near the southern edge of the sheet, likely serving as a sentinel over the tidal flats and the intricate network of waterways like Brockonbridge Gut. Offshore, the survey provides significant hydrographic detail, mapping the underwater topography of Blake Channel and the specific depths of Cedarbrush Hole and Hawknest. This nautical focus reveals the submerged hazards and navigable paths essential for the local fishing and boating economy during the early 1990s.
