1948 Map of Delaware City
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The Delaware River serves as the central artery for this mid-century survey, dividing the coastal marshes of New Castle County from the shores of Salem County. At the heart of the waterway, Pea Patch Island and Fort Delaware stand as prominent landmarks of coastal defense, complemented by Fort Mott State Park and the site of Fort Elfsborg on the eastern bank. The map illustrates the industrial and maritime infrastructure of the era, centered on the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal as it enters the river south of Delaware City.
