Stones Throw: DE 72 @ OLD BALTIMORE PIKE

2 39.64°, -75.73°
About location

Built around the road corridors linking Newark, Bear and the wider New Castle County suburbs, Stones Throw grew into a low-rise commercial and residential area in northern Delaware. It occupies part of the Delmarva Peninsula, with the Delaware River lying east beyond the developed suburban belt. Pulaski Highway, the local name for U.S. Route 40, is a principal east–west artery here, lined with service businesses, junctions and everyday retail. Detached houses and mature tree cover remain close to the traffic corridors, giving the district a suburban scale rather than a downtown one. The highway honours Casimir Pulaski, the Polish-born commander who fought for the American cause in the Revolutionary War, connecting this roadside setting with a wider Mid-Atlantic tradition of naming routes for national figures.

Delaware
Region Delaware

Built around settlements and commerce on the Delaware River, Delaware grew into a compact Mid-Atlantic state. Its northern edge meets the river and Delaware Bay, while the south, including Sussex County near these coordinates, opens toward Atlantic beaches, salt marshes and low-lying farmland. Dover is the state capital; Wilmington, on the Christina River, is Delaware’s largest city and a long-standing industrial centre. Delaware was the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, on 7 December 1787, a distinction reflected in its “First State” nickname. Cape Henlopen, Lewes and Rehoboth Beach underline the importance of the coast to local life.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
