very neat analysis of this intriguing esthetic nuance arif
having visited both the delaware tongues
i can tell you the upper one at killcohook was created by an army corps of engineers land reclamation project within & upon the river
subsequent to the supreme courts awarding to delaware the entire river & bed everywhere within 12 miles of the new castle courthouse spire
& the lower one in the radioactive dump just past the sizzling salem nuke appears to have been caused earlier by the bizarre extra sweep of the compass that was necessary to execute precisely this supreme court ruling circa 1934
& produced the 4th & final sector of william penns original 1683 delaware arc
tho the usgs depiction at 25k scale distorts its curvature for some reason
lots more interesting detail here to suit your any interest
still in crystal river
i must admit the georgia cross does seem like a nice caper for today
