About this map

Delta and Cardiff straddle the state line where Pennsylvania and Maryland meet, forming a concentrated corridor of settlement defined by the historic Mason-Dixon boundary. This area, which includes the neighboring village of Whiteford, is shaped by the complex topography surrounding Broad Creek and its many tributaries like Scott Creek and Michael Run. The landscape is dotted with several small rural communities such as Ailston, Prospect, and Mill Green, each serving as a local focal point for the surrounding farmsteads.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the region, ranging from Mount Zion Cemetery in the north to the Southern Cemetery near Dublin in the south. The southern portion of the map transitions into more open terrain near McCanns Corner and Poole, where Moxley's Airport provides a localized aviation landmark. The presence of Broad Creek Memorial Camp Reservoir and the Rock Ridge Ponds highlights the importance of water management in this rolling borderland terrain.
