About this map

The Univ of Delaware campus and its surrounding neighborhoods anchor the eastern portion of this landscape, where the tri-state boundaries of Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania converge. This modern survey illustrates the dense residential growth and institutional expansion in Newark alongside the preservation of several historic burial grounds, including the centrally located Saint Johns Cem and the small Boot Hill Cem further west.

The terrain is defined by the complex drainage of the Christina River and its branches, such as the W Br Christina River and E Br Christina River. To the west, the landscape transitions into the rolling hills of the Fair Hill area and the rural crossroads of Kemblesville and Strickersville. Notable landmarks like the Childs Pony Truss Bridge and various family-named features like David Hollow provide points of reference for local historians tracing the evolution of these border communities.
