USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad anchors this mid-century survey, cutting diagonally across the landscape and connecting the sister towns of Delta and Cardiff. This corridor along the Pennsylvania-Maryland state line is defined by Slate Ridge, where numerous quarries signify the region's industrial heritage in slate production. Moving south into Harford County, the terrain softens into a network of small agricultural settlements like Whiteford, Pylesville, and Dublin.
