USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
The Mason and Dixon Line serves as the central axis of this landscape, marking the historic boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland. This 1950s survey captures the interconnected border towns of Delta and Cardiff, where the region's industrial character is defined by numerous Quarry sites and the prominent Slate Ridge. Transportation networks are well-established, with both the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Maryland and Pennsylvania RR cutting through the terrain to support the local slate industry.
