Map Description:

In order to understand and interpret one of the largest battles of the American Revolution, we have reconstructed the 18th-century cultural landscape of 80 square miles surrounding Monmouth Battlefield State Park. The entry is a small area clipped from the landscape map on which is drawn the last action of the battle. This map illustrates an outdoor exhibit at the archaeological site of the Parsonage.
