1956 Map of Little Creek

About this map

The Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge dominates the eastern coastal reaches of this survey, defining a landscape of tidal marshes, guts, and islands. This transition from the Delaware Bay shoreline into the interior is marked by intricate water systems including the Leipsic River and Mahon River. Inland, the economy of the mid-1950s is visibly split between the burgeoning military presence of the Dover Air Force Base and the agricultural heritage of District No 2.
