Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach are captured here during a period of significant coastal development along the Delaware shore. This 1980 color infrared orthophotogrammetric study highlights the density of the built environment against the delicate barrier ecosystem. The imagery clearly delineates the narrow strand of land separating the Atlantic Ocean from the expansive Rehoboth Bay, revealing the patterns of residential growth and the reach of the local canal and creek systems. To the north, the winding waters of the Glade and Holland flow through the interior wetlands, while to the south, the isolated Roman T Pond sits near the bay's edge. This specialized perspective provides researchers with a precise visual record of the shoreline and land use before subsequent decades of further expansion and environmental change.
