About this map

The Saint Jones River and Murderkill River meander through the marshy lowlands of Kent County, defining a landscape shaped by coastal proximity and historical transit. The town of Frederica anchors the southern portion of the sheet near the confluence of Ash Gut, while the settlement of Magnolia serves as a central hub with its Magnolia Post Office. Along the eastern edge, the Delaware Bay shoreline features specialized coastal communities like Bowers Beach, South Bowers, and the uniquely named Kitts Hummock.

Tracing the rural road network reveals a series of landings and small developments that speak to the region's agricultural and maritime character. Locations such as Barkers Landing, White House Landing, and Webb Landing highlight the importance of water access for these inland reaches. Small aviation is represented by Johnson Airport, while the Saint James Cemetery and the intriguing settlement of Little Heaven provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians studying the early 21st-century footprint of this Delaware landscape.
