The south begins somewhere in mid Virginia on the east coast, In the Midwest it begins along the Ohio river but there is a lot of bleed over. Missouri/Kansas is where the traditional North/south concept becomes transplanted with the East/west split.
Once you get out west far enough the east/west division is far more relevant than the north/south division, which is quite honestly completely irrelevant at that point.

For people in PA and MD though, the Mason-Dixon still means something.
I'm not too sure what the "modern context" of the South means. No slaves?
I do think that Southern Maryland, even much of PG County outside of DC, looks and feels more Southern in flavor than Northern.

To me, DC feels like a mix of North and South... probably because it is, I guess.
