About this map

The Pennsylvania Maryland state line bisects this region, marking a cultural and political divide between Chester County and Cecil County. The landscape is defined by the drainage of North East Creek, Jordan Run, and Little Elk Creek, which carve through the terrain near notable high points like Hickory Hill and Egg Hill. This area is characterized by a dense network of historic rural settlements, including Chrome, Lombard, and Lewisville along the border, while the southern portion features the community of Bay View and the campus of Cecil College.

Historic preservation and local heritage are prominent, evidenced by Gilpins Covered Bridge spanning the waters near Gilpins Falls. Religious and genealogical history is well-represented through numerous sites such as the Brick Meeting House, Moores Chapel, and the Saint Johns Cemetery. The transportation network includes the historic Telegraph Road and aviation history at High Valley Airport, showing the evolution of the region's connectivity into the modern era.
