1949 Map of Little Creek

About this map

The Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge dominates the eastern tidal marshlands of this mid-century coastal survey, where a complex network of guts and rivers like the Simons River and Mahon River meet the Delaware Bay. The landscape reveals a transition from these salt marshes to inland agricultural and military use, most notably the northern portion of the Dover Army Air Base and its accompanying Dover Army Air Base Strafing Range stretching toward the coast.
