1949 Map of Mispillion River
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Milford Neck and its surrounding wetlands define this mid-century look at the Delaware coast where the Mispillion River meets the Delaware Bay. The landscape is dominated by tidal marshes and winding waterways such as Grecos Canal and Crooked Gut. Inland, the map reveals a quiet rural society focused around Cedar Neck, where the Cedar Neck Ch and Cedar Neck Sch served local families. Along the shoreline, small communities like Cedar Beach and Slaughter Beach sit near the mouth of the river, guarded by the Mispillion River Lt and the coastal defenses at Fort Saulsbury. Several small landings, including Maloneys Landing and Davis Landing, suggest a long history of water-based transport and commerce before modern road networks were fully established.
