Description: An 1898 United States Geological Survey view of the Elkton, Maryland quadrangle, showing the "wedge" area between Delaware and Maryland. This wedge of land, resulting from surveying oddities in colonial times, was the space left between the North Line--Maryland's eastern border--and the Twelve-Mile Circle--Delaware's western border. The land now belongs to Delaware, but, in this 1898 map, was considered a part of Pennsylvania. (The yellow highlight is an addition to the original map.)
