About this map

Fort Miles Military Reservation dominates the strategic tip of the Delaware coast in this 1944 military edition survey. The landscape is defined by the heavy maritime defenses and industrial infrastructure required during the height of the war, including the Lewes CG Sta and a network of coastal lights. To the west, the maritime settlement of Lewes is shown with its connection to the Pennsylvania railroad and the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal.
