The U S Military Reservation (Fort Miles) dominates the coastline at Cape Henlopen in this mid-1950s survey. This strategically vital point marks the meeting of the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, anchored by the historic settlement of Lewes. The map illustrates a complex maritime landscape defined by massive protective structures, including the Harbor of Refuge and Breakwater Harbor, which provided essential shelter for shipping.
