1904 Map of Wilmington
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Christina River and the Delaware River dominate this coastal survey, where maritime defense and industrial transit intersect at the turn of the century. Military interests are prominently marked by a triad of defensive works: Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Id, Fort Mott on the New Jersey shore, and Fort Dupont near the river's bend. These sites protected the critical approaches to industrial centers like Wilmington and the entry to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
