USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Smyrna River and its labyrinth of tidal marshes define the landscape of northern Delaware in the late 1940s. This survey illustrates a coastal economy transitioning from its maritime roots, where numerous historical river access points like Smyrna Landing, Shorts Landing, and Eagles Nest Landing are clearly marked along the meandering waterway. The town of Smyrna serves as the inland hub, positioned at the intersection of major transit routes like Dupont Boulevard and the Pennsylvania Road.
