The physical geography of Delaware

Almost all of Delaware lies on the Atlantic Coastal Plain, on the Delmarva Peninsula it shares with Maryland and Virginia. Only the far north, around Wilmington, reaches the rolling Piedmont, and that is where the state’s highest point is found. The eastern side faces the Delaware River, Delaware Bay and a short Atlantic coast. Streams in the west drain the other way, toward Chesapeake Bay.

Major rivers

  • Delaware
  • Christina
  • Brandywine Creek
  • Nanticoke

Find it on the map

  • The only hills in the state, in the far north
  • The curve of the Delaware Bay shore
  • Cape Henlopen, the hook of land where the bay meets the ocean

Built from real data, not stock images.

Every Delaware physical map on this page was rendered from NASA SRTM 30-meter elevation data, with hydrography from Natural Earth and the shoreline-clipped state outline from the US Census Bureau. Each map is colored over that state’s own elevation range, and the relief shading is exaggerated so gentle terrain still shows.
