About this map

The coastal defenses and inland junctions of northern Delaware and southern New Jersey are captured here in 1919. A complex military landscape is revealed through the strategic triad of Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Id., Fort Dupont near Delaware City, and Fort Mott on the New Jersey shore. This defensive network guarded the approach to Wilmington during an era of expanding industrial and rail power.
