I'm having issues opening the Google maps ref (Reference 1). Is it just me?
Works fine for me. Dough4872 15:19, 17 April 2012 (UTC)reply
Reference 7, the Wikipedia map, doesn't seem relevant at all. Delaware 9A isn't even visible on the map. Was there a reason you chose to use it?
Its to show the assignment of US 40 as part of the creation of the U.S. highway system in 1926. Dough4872 15:19, 17 April 2012 (UTC)reply
Reference 8, the New Jersey map, doesn't seem to provide any explicit reference to the information it is citing. How do you know that the ferry connects the two?
The map shows that US 40 was assigned to the route crossing the ferry between Wilmington and Penns Grove. The dashed lines across the Delaware River at Wilmington indicate the ferry. Dough4872 15:19, 17 April 2012 (UTC)reply
Reference 10, the 1936 DelDOT map, also presents information that doesn't seem pertinent. The article is on DE 9A, not Christiana Avenue. If what I can tell from the map is correct, Christiana Avenue is completely encompassed by DE 9A, and this should be made clear.
Back then, Christiana Avenue was assigned as part of DE 48. DE 9A did not exist until later. The purpose of mentioning this is to show the history of Christiana Avenue, which is one of two roads encompassing DE 9A. The history of a route article should include changes pre-designation.

References 11 and 12, the 1949 and the 1952-53 maps, also present the same issue as those above. How do you know the ferry was discontinued?
The 1949 map no longer shows the ferry crossing the Delaware River between Wilmington and Penns Grove. Dough4872 15:19, 17 April 2012 (UTC)reply
Reference 13, the 1971 map, does not say that 1971 was when 9A shifted onto its current alignment. You probably could say, however, that it was following its current alignment by the 1971 version of the map.
Changed "by" to "around". Dough4872 15:19, 17 April 2012 (UTC)reply
As a general question, why do none of the maps mention Delaware 9A as itself? Even Google Maps sees the route as just an extension of DE 9.
DE 9A is a small route and is too small to show on some maps. Google has numerous errors in their cartography, so it should not be taken as the best. Dough4872 15:19, 17 April 2012 (UTC)reply
General comments
As a first comment, if I didn't mention the criterion, my evaluation of it told me that it satisfied it.
I, firstly, would like to thank you for working on this article. I find that reviewing these acquaints me with interesting tidbits about local geographies that I would otherwise not know, so I appreciate the opportunity. In any case, let me know if you have any questions or clarifications with regards to my recommendations. --Starstriker7(
