Historical earthquakes that occurred in and around Delaware since 1785 from earthquake catalogs are plotted with hexagons; earthquakes since 1972 from Lamont Cooperative Seismographic Network catalog are plotted with circles. Permanent seismographic stations used to locate small earthquakes around Delaware are plotted with solid triangles. 1871 is the epicenter of the largest known earthquake (M 4.1) in Delaware, and 1879 is an M 3.3 earthquake that occurred close to the 2017 Delaware event. 1984 M 4.1 Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and 1994 M 4.6 Reading, Pennsylvania, earthquake sequences are indicated. Focal mechanism of the mainshock and trend of the subhorizontal P axis is indicated by thick arrows. Shaded area is Atlantic Coastal Plain strata covering bedrock.
