2010 Map of Media

About this map

Springton Reservoir and the winding course of Crum Creek dominate this suburban Philadelphia landscape, which highlights the dense network of residential developments and historic institutional land use in Delaware County. The map documents numerous water management features, from the Geist Storage Dam to industrial-era remnants like the Cotton Mill Dam and Todmorden Mills. Educational and community anchors such as the Penn State University Delaware County Campus and several municipal halls, including Media Borough Hall, are clearly plotted alongside established residential neighborhoods like Larchmont and Newtown Square. Local history and genealogy researchers will find significant detail in the placement of several burial grounds, including Saint Charbel Mission Cemetery and Cumberland Cemetery. The area’s aviation history is also represented through specialized sites like the Edgemont US Army Reserve Center Airport and Copter-Borden Airport.
