2011 Map of Taylors Bridge

About this map

Saint Augustine Landing and Fennimore Landing define the marshy Delaware River coastline in this 2011 map, where the complex waterways of the Appoquinimink River and Blackbird Creek reach the bay. The landscape is marked by historical river access points like Thomas Landing and Stave Landing, connected by narrow roads such as Vance Neck Rd and Cedar Swamp Rd. Navigational history is evident at the Appoquinimink Range Lights, while the interior shows the small settlement at Taylors Bridge. The eastern shoreline includes notable features like Artificial Island and Baker Shoal, contrasting with the extensive wetland drainage systems of the River Shore Ditch and The Big Ditch. This document captures the coastal geography of the region before further environmental and infrastructure changes altered these historic landing sites.
