1936 Map of Bowers
USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
St Jones Neck and Murderkill Neck dominate this mid-1930s coastal landscape, where the marshy Delaware shoreline is defined by intricate tidal guts and the sweep of the Delaware Bay. The survey illustrates a rural economy transitioning into the modern era, with U S Highway 113 bypassing older riverfront settlements like Barkers Landing. Historic religious life is well-documented through landmarks such as the Friends Meetinghouse and Barratts Chapel, while the maritime importance of the region is anchored by the Mahon River L H and the offshore Elbow of Cross Ledge L H.
