This is because within the "Twelve Mile Circle ", the entire Delaware River, to the low water mark, is the territory of Delaware and not New Jersey (unlike many other river borders where the border is at some intermediate point in the river itself). As a result, certain areas (including theKillcohook National Wildlife Refuge and a portion of theSalem Nuclear Power Plant ) on the New Jersey side of the river that have been expanded by adding fill into areas that were historically below the low water mark are considered part ofDelaware and notNew Jersey . Areas that have been built on fill are considered Delaware Territory . Both of these areas are only accesable by land by traveling through New Jersey.
