Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Soil Survey of Kent County, Delaware, 1920 Kent County occupies the central part of Delaware. It is approximately 60 miles cast of Baltimore, and about 75 miles southwest of Philadelphia. It is bounded on the east by the Delaware River and Delaware Bay. The northern boundary is formed in part by the Smyrna River, which flows in a northeasterly course. The greatest length of the county north and south is about 20 miles, while the average width east and west is about 20 miles. The county comprises about one-third of the State of Delaware, and has a total land area of 594 square miles, or 380,100 acres. All of Kent County is embraced within the physiographic division known as the Atlantic Coastal Plain, and has a flat to nearly level surface. Topographically the county can be divided roughly into three divisions, viz, the poorly drained, treeless tidal marshes along Delaware Pay; second, a broad belt of well-drained fertile farming land which extends in a general north and south direction through the central part of the county; third, the western section, which is flat and frequently very poorly drained. The tidal-marsh belt lies nearly at sea level and is subject to inundation during high tides. It contains numerous sloughs and ponds. This belt is quite irregular in outline, with a maximum width of over 4 miles and a minimum of less than 1. It extends several miles up the streams entering the bay as tidal-marsh estuaries. In places in the southern part it is separated from the bay by a narrow sand barrier. Back of this foreland a plain slowly rises to the central part of the county, where the maximum elevation is about 65 feet.
