There is a variety of geography found in the state of Delaware. This includes the coastal plain, the Delmarva Peninsula, the Chesapeake Bay, as well as the Delaware River.
The Middle Colonies is comprised of the middle region of the 13 colonies. Its geography include the states of New York, Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
During first colonization of the Americas in the Mid-Atlantic region of Delaware by the Swedes, Dutch and later British, the region was heavily wooded. Northern Delaware, or what is today New Castle County sits on the Piedmont Plateau. It also has the valley system formed by the Brandywine River. To the east is the great Delaware River that opens up into the Atlantic Ocean. Much of the Delaware River and Bay shores are wetlands and marshes. Southern Delaware is of much flatter (sea level) land, as it on the Atlantic shores.
The geography of Delaware in 1638 included a total area of over 1900 square miles and sea level access along the coast. The highest elevation was about 440 feet above sea level and freshwater rivers made it simple for colonists to access fresh water.
Good soil, Great farmlandsDelaware had some very fertile land and was popular because it was close to the water, which was good for trading posts
In the late 1600s, Delaware was mainly characterized by fertile lowlands along the Delaware River and its tributaries, interspersed with swamps and marshes. The state's coastline was dotted with barrier islands and bays, while the interior was covered by forests. The region was inhabited by Native American tribes and European settlers who were primarily engaged in agriculture and trade.

Being in the middle region, they had rich furtile soil, mild winters, long growing seasons, and lots of rivers and Valleys. That is just what all middle colonies had, so unless there is some specific geography that was in colonial delaware... i don't know... :)
