Geography in Claymont
Unlike much of the rest of Delaware, Claymont is actually fairly hilly. Philadelphia Pike dips up and down numerous times. This elevation results in some pleasant views of the Delaware River and New Jersey, and is great if the starter on your car is shot.
The major natural landmark in Claymont is the Delaware River. The river starts in New York, and by the time it reaches Delaware (Claymont is the first town it comes to), it is over a mile wide and a "broad, sluggish inlet of the sea." Soon after Claymont, it officially becomes the Delaware Bay south of Port Penn.
As indicated by its name, there is a lot of clay in the soil in Claymont. To find any, simply dig through the few inches of topsoil and you will almost probably hit Claymont clay.
