1944 Map of Lewes
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The maritime gateway of Lewes and the surrounding coastal marshlands of Sussex County are captured here just after the mid-century, based on 1943 air photographs and field work. This coastal landscape is defined by its strategic water access, from the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal to the Roosevelt Inlet, marked by several navigational aids including the North Jetty Lt and Rear Range Lt. The map reveals a transition from the structured grid of the town center to the sprawling inland necks, such as Covington Neck and Hells Neck, where small communities like Nassau and Quakertown were established near the Pennsylvania railroad line.
