1943 Map of Townsend
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Townsend and the southern tip of Northampton County appear in detail during the early 1940s, a period marked by military presence and traditional coastal life. The Pennsylvania railroad line serves as the backbone of the peninsula, connecting agricultural hubs like Capeville and Dalbys to the wider region. Along the western shore, maritime activity is centered at Arlington Whf and Hunts Wharf on Old Plantation Creek, while the eastern side of the quadrangle is dominated by the intricate marshlands of Mockhorn Island and Magothy Bay.
