800 meters S of Lorewood Grove on the S bank of the canal. This one is probably hopeless. Topozone.com says there is a populated place called Lorewood grove but it maps to an empty spot on the S bank of the canal. About 500m S is a Lorewood Grove Rd but it does not seem to go to any town of Lorewood Grove |

Station 3 is probably a tidal station — tidal stations within the canal are Delaware Branch Channel Bridge,Reedy Point,St Georges,Summit Bridge,New Castle,Chesapeake City but the do not seem to be numbered 1,2,3… I would guess this locality to be at Summit Bridge, but that’s purely a guess |

Confused. At a guess, MD896=MD213 and Delaware City is Chesapeake City at the other end of the canal. Another possibility is that MD896=DE9. And another is that MD896=DE896-US301 which crosses the canal via Summit Bridge |
