North side of Indian River Inlet in 1970

Things have changed dramatically on the north side of Indian River Inlet where Delaware now has a state-of-the-art marina, floating docks, dry storage, tidy little cottages for tourists, charter and head boat fishing facilities, and a causeway connecting Burton Island - upper left in this photo - to the mainland.

Back in March of 1970, when Lloyd Teitsworth and Dee Andrews took aerial photographs all over the state for a Delaware Project initiative, fixed docks, recreational trailers and comparatively limited facilities defined what was then, and still is, known as the north side.
