About this map

The Delaware County Courthouse sits at the heart of Media, a densely developed borough surrounded by suburban growth and historical Quaker roots in southeastern Pennsylvania. This survey reveals a landscape where modern institutions like Delaware County Community College and the Williamson College of the Trades exist alongside numerous long-established burial grounds. The presence of the Willistown Friends Cem, Middletown Friends Monthly Meeting Cem, and Providence Friends Meeting Cem highlights the deep Quaker heritage of the region.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with the Springton Reservoir dominating the central-eastern section, while Ridley Creek and Crum Creek wind through the terrain. From the concentrated residential blocks of Newtown Square and Glen Mills to the smaller pockets like Plumsock and Black Horse, the map captures the transition from bustling municipal centers to residential suburbs and institutional grounds near the Delaware County line.
