1776 Map of Upper Makefield
This custom-designed map highlights the properties of landowners during the time of the crossing, providing context to the events of December 1776. It also features illustrations of key headquarters homes used by General Washington and his officers in the lead-up to the historic crossing of the Delaware on Christmas Night.
Researched by local historian Jeff Marshall and artistically rendered by Virginia Cuba, the project connects visitors to the real families and landscapes that shaped our nation’s fight for independence. By visualizing who lived here and where, we aim to deepen public understanding of Upper Makefield’s 1776 landscape and the historic events that took place here during the Revolutionary War.
These limited edition maps will be available for purchase for $17.76 in our patriot gift shop. All proceeds will be reinvested into 2026 park enhancements.
Estimated Completion: July 2025
