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.
