How to read this map
Delaware Bay covers about 2,030 km² (785 sq mi). Countries with a coast on Delaware Bay: the United States, New Jersey and Delaware.
The blue outline marks Delaware Bay as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Philadelphia, Baltimore, Trenton, York, Lancaster, Wilmington, Annapolis and Atlantic City. Labeled states and countries: Delaware.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of Delaware Bay come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where Delaware Bay is, not a surveyed boundary.
