2019 Map of Valley Forge

About this map

The Valley Forge National Historical Park anchors this 2019 survey, preserving the Revolutionary War winter encampment site where Mt Joy and Mt Misery overlook the confluence of Valley Creek and the Schuylkill River. Beyond the park boundaries, the landscape transition is sharp, moving from the protected slopes of Jug Hollow into the dense suburban corridors of the Main Line and King of Prussia. This modern map reveals a dense layering of historical memory, where 18th-century burial grounds like the Diamond Rock Mennonite Cem and the Old Saint David Church Cem are surrounded by 21st-century developments.
