The Mispillion River serves as the focal point for this coastal Delaware landscape, marking the boundary between Kent and Sussex Counties. Along the shoreline of the Delaware Bay, the map reveals a history of maritime activity and coastal defense, most notably at the site of Fort Saulsbury. The transition from river to bay is guided by the Mispillion Light and a system of Jetties, while the low-lying marshes are preserved within the Milford Neck State Wildlife Area and Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge.
