The coastal interface of the Delmarva Peninsula is defined by a dense network of tidal reaches and marshlands, where the Broadkill River and Ditch Creek wind through the Great Marsh toward Delaware Bay. The settlement of Lewes sits at the nexus of these waterways, positioned along the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal and adjacent to the historic neighborhood of Pilottown. This landscape is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial grounds such as the Saint Peters Episcopal Churchyard Cem and Lewes Presbyterian Church Cem.
