1984 Map of Lewes

About this map

The Broadkill River winds through a complex coastal environment of salt marshes and tidal flats, anchoring a landscape defined by the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and the Delaware Bay. The city of Lewes serves as the focal point, showing a developed grid with its hospital, fire station, and the University of Delaware College of Marine Studies situated near the Breakwater Harbor. The map reveals a transition from these urban centers to the wide marshlands of the Great Marsh and the Davidson Marsh, which are punctuated by isolated landings like Hazzard Landing and Black Hog Landing.
