About this map

Industrial centers and coastal defenses define the Mid-Atlantic corridor just after the war, anchored by the dense urban blocks of Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Camden. The navigation of the Delaware River is vital to the region's economy, supported by the critical Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and a network of maritime safeguards including the Ship John Shoal Light and Miah Maull Shoal Lighthouse.
