About this map

The Mason and Dixon Line serves as a defining boundary in this region, marking the convergence of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. The landscape is dominated by large-scale preservation and recreational areas, notably the Fair Hill State Natural Resources Management Area, which preserves a significant corridor along Big Elk Creek. This area, once a private estate, is characterized by its equestrian facilities, including the Fair Hill Race Track.

To the east, the expansion of Newark is evident near the University of Delaware campus, while industrial and transportation markers like the Quarry and Cecil Co Airpark sit alongside historic rural nodes. Genealogists will find numerous small burial sites and parish centers, such as Mt Olivet Cem, Otis Chapel Cem, and the Immaculate Conception Cem near Cherry Hill Sch. The southern portion reflects the transition toward the Iron Hill heights, anchored by Iron Hill County Park.
