1901 Map of Belair

About this map

Deer Creek carves a winding path through the heart of the Maryland and Pennsylvania borderlands, anchoring a landscape of scattered rural hamlets and early industrial activity at the turn of the century. The northern edge of the sheet is defined by the Boundary Line, where the proximity of York and Harford counties fostered closely linked communities like Delta and Cardiff. This area is particularly notable for its extraction history, evidenced by the Mc Intyre Minefield and the concentrations of settlements like Slate Hill and West Bangor that supported local quarrying or mining operations.
