1954 Map of Bethany Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Bethany Beach and its neighboring seaside communities of Sussex Shores and South Bethany are shown here during a period of mid-century coastal growth. The landscape is defined by the narrow strip of Sand Dunes separating the Atlantic from protected inland waters like Salt Pond and Fresh Pond. The Assowoman Canal cuts through the marshes, providing a vital navigational link between Indian River Bay and the southern reaches of Assowoman Bay.
