Darby Creek and its many tributaries, including Whiskey Run and Muckinipattis Cr, carve through this densely developed corridor of suburban Philadelphia. The 2016 landscape is defined by its extensive collection of memorial grounds and religious institutions, ranging from the sprawling Arlington Cem and Holy Cross Cem to the historic Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary-Overbrook. Educational landmarks like Swarthmore Coll anchor the southwestern portion of the sheet, while the dense residential grids of Upper Darby and Lansdowne show the mature urbanization of the Delaware County borderlands. At the southern edge, the map transitions into the tidal reaches of the creek near Smith Island and Hay Island, where the I-95 Trail and Henderson's Trail provide recreational access near the industrial waterfront of Ridley Park Lake.
