USGS Topo · Published 1934About this map
Delaware Bay dominates the eastern half of this survey, defining a coastline characterized by intricate tidal guts and marshy islands like Kelly Island and Kent Island. The interior of Kent County is organized by school districts, with several rural schoolhouses such as White Oak Sch and Cowgill Sch serving these early 20th-century communities. Transport and commerce are tied to the water, visible in the cluster of coastal landings and beach settlements like Pickering Beach and Bowers.
