About this map

St Jones Neck and Murderkill Neck dominate this mid-century view of the Kent County shoreline, where salt marshes and tidal branches meet the Delaware Bay. The landscape is defined by its early religious and educational hubs, notably Barratts Chapel and the Friends Meetinghouse, alongside numerous local schools like White Oak Sch and St Jones Sch. These landmarks anchored the small farming and fishing communities of the era.
