P037 - Plan of the area of Bordentown, Burlington to Mount Holly
Item Description
On the left the plan shows Bordentown and the Lewis Mill on Black's Creek. The lower road from Bordentown leads to the "Miss Wietfield house" (now Fieldsboro) and to the Three Tuns Tavern and Bustleton. The road crosses Hancock's Creek, named for a local landowner, and continues to the Yorkshire Bridge over Assiscunk Creek (not Ankokes Creek, an old spelling of Rancocas Creek, as Ewald has it). Rancocas Creek flows into the Delaware River southwest of Burlington. The upper road from Bordentown leads to Black Horse (Columbus) and Slabtown (Jacksonville), continuing past the Friends Meeting House to Mount Holly at the upper right. Near the center is the Bunting house, where Ewald had his outpost on December 22, 1776.
