1906 Map of Wilmington
USGS Topo · Published 1928About this map
Wilmington sits at the heart of a dense industrial and maritime corridor at the turn of the century, where the Brandywine River and Christiana River converge before meeting the Delaware River. This landscape is defined by its strategic military and commercial infrastructure, anchored by the coastal defenses of Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Id, alongside Fort Mott and Fort Dupont. The map reveals a transition from the urban density of the city to the engineered waterways of the south, specifically the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal with its accompanying Towpath.
