2023 Map of Delta

About this map

Pennsylvania and Maryland borders intersect at the twin settlements of Delta and Cardiff, forming a unique interstate community corridor. This topographic study captures the landscape's diverse character, from the steep banks along the Susquehanna River in the northeast to the network of creeks like Broad Creek and Scott Creek that drain the interior. The region's heritage is deeply rooted in its religious and community spaces, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries including the Trinity African Methodist Episcopal Zion Cem and Slateville Presbyterian Church Cem. Small crossroads communities such as Whiteford, Pylesville, and Scarboro dot the area, connected by local routes like Susquehanna Trails and Pylesville Rd. These small hubs, alongside Moxley's Airport near the southern edge, illustrate a rural development pattern shaped by both the rugged stream valleys and the historic state boundary line.
