2014 Map of Delaware City

About this map

Delaware City and the neighboring shoreline of New Jersey are joined by the wide expanse of the Delaware River in this 2014 survey. The river's maritime importance is reflected in the deep-water channels of the Bulkhead Bar Range and the New Castle Range, while the entrance to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal highlights the region's historic role as a vital waterway junction. On the Delaware shore, the town grid of Delaware City sits near the Green Hill Cem and the Branch Channel Bridge, with the Delmarva Peninsula Eastern Shore extending southward toward the riverside community of Port Penn. Across the water in Salem County, the landscape transitions from the industrial outskirts of Pennsville to the residential areas of Oakwood Beach and the landmark site of Fort Elfsborg. This map provides a clear record of the river's numerous islands and bars, including the large Pea Patch Island and the marshes surrounding Reedy Island.
