Rancocas Creek, Tributary waterway in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States.
Rancocas Creek spans 8.3 miles with two primary branches, flowing through agricultural lands and forests before joining the Delaware River.
The waterway functioned as a crucial transportation route in the 1700s, connecting inland settlements to Philadelphia through its navigable channels.
The creek borders Timbuctoo, an 1820s settlement established by free Black Americans, featuring a cemetery honoring African American Civil War soldiers.
The creek maintains a depth between 7 to 12 feet, extending from Mile Marker 60.1 to Mile Marker 45 along the Delaware River system.
Underwater archeologists employ sonar technology to discover historical artifacts beneath the creek's surface, revealing centuries of maritime activities.
