2017 Map of Fortescue

About this map

Fortescue sits at the edge of the Delaware Bay, serving as a coastal anchor for this wetland-dominated landscape in Cumberland County. The map details a complex hydraulic network where Oranoaken Creek and Fishing Creek snake through the salt marshes toward the Maurice River Cove. This area is characterized by shifting shorelines and maritime navigational aids, including the Intracoastal Waterway and various ranges such as the Miah Maull Range and Main Maull Range. Significant geographic markers like False Egg Island Point and Egg Island Point define the southern reaches, while the small street grid of the village, including Louisiana Ave and Delaware Ave, provides a stark contrast to the surrounding tidal flats and drainage ditches like Pierson Ditch.
