1906 Map of Wilmington
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Wilmington serves as the industrial and maritime hub in this early twentieth-century survey, where the Christina River and Brandywine Creek converge before meeting the Delaware River. The map highlights a strategic defensive corridor along the river, featuring Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Id, Fort Mott on the New Jersey shore, and Fort Dupont near the entrance to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. This waterway network, essential for regional trade, is complemented by a dense web of railroads including the Pennsylvania R R and the B & O R R.
