2019 Map of Lewes

About this map

The Broadkill River and Broadkill Sound define the coastal geography of the Delaware bayfront, carving through expansive wetlands like Great Marsh and Davidson Marsh. This 2019 survey documents the intricate network of tidal guts and reaches, including No Mans Reach and Black Hog Gut, which separate the mainland from barrier features like Beach Plum Island and Broadkill Beach. The cultural landscape is anchored by the historic settlement of Lewes, with detailed indexing of local cemeteries including Bethel Cem, Whites Chapel Cem, and Saint George Cem. Moving inland, the transition from maritime navigation to agriculture and light industry is marked by crossroads like Nassau, Quakertown, and Overbrook. The map also features notable regional landmarks such as Eagle Crest-Hudson Airport and the coastal recreation areas of Primehook Beach and Henlopen Memorial Park.
