About this map

Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge dominates the coastline in this detailed 1993 study of the Delaware marshlands. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways including the Leipsic River, Simons River, and the Mahon River, which carve through Bombay Hook Island and Kelly Island. The transition from the tidal flats of the Delaware Bay to the inland agricultural and residential areas is marked by the presence of Little Creek and Cowgills Corner.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks such as the Friends Meetinghouse and its associated Friends Meetinghouse Cem, alongside Moors Cem. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the extensive Dover Air Force Base, showing its relationship to the surrounding communities of Oak Grove and Postles Corner. Navigation aids like the Leipsic River Range Light and the Little River Range Lights highlight the area's continued reliance on the coastal waterways.
