Discussion:
General Washington and General Green's forces and General Sullivan's forces are now known to have separated further up the river at Bear Tavern and not at Birmingham Road as shown on Carrington's Map, and there other discrepancies (Ex: The road network on New jersey side is not shown correctly). Most important... it shows a second creek in Yardley ---a fact omitted from most other maps--- and it shows a Redoubt at a location now known to have been opposite Howell's Ferry.

The main creek in Yardley is Brock Creek just above the Yardley Inn. The second creek as shown on the 1776 map, entered the Delaware at a location several hundred feet upriver from the Belville Home. Waters were partially diverted from this creek to Lake Afton when a race was built probably by 1752. But the original creek continued to function all the way to the river. Sometime between 1775 and 1794, the creek near the river was totally abandoned and diverted into a swamp which drains to Potato Creek, emptying into the Delaware just below the Water Treatment Plant at Ferry Road. Eventually, when the Grist Mill shut down, the race was no longer used, and from this point forward all the creek waters flowed into the Delaware Canal. This is the creek which the railroad used as a water supply, building an impoundment named White's Lake on the 1875 Map of Yardleyville. In more recent times, White's Lake was expanded to include a second lower lake, which today discharges across the golf course to the canal.
