1948 Map of Taylors Bridge

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Cedar Swamp and the tidal reaches of the Delaware River dominate this coastal survey, which highlights the transition from 1940s topography to early 1980s industrial development. The small community of Taylors Bridge sits at the head of a complex network of marshland drainage, including the Big Ditch and White Oak Ditch. The shoreline is marked by historic landings such as Thomas Landing, Fennimore Landing, and Stave Landing, points that once served the river-based economy of New Castle County. Across the water in New Jersey, the 1981 revisions show a massive powerplant on Artificial Island, contrasting with the preserved wetlands of the Augustine Wildlife Area and Appoquinimink Wildlife Area. The landscape is a detailed record of coastal drainage patterns, from Augustine Creek in the north to the meandering path of Blackbird Creek in the south.
