As Europe followed the progress of the American Revolution, maps of the prominent "Seats of Liberty" became popular, and Gentleman's Magazine published several versions of Scull and Heap's important maps. The map holds special value as a historical document because it shows the names of owners of estates and farms outside the city, each marked by a small house icon. German Town is denoted by a long double row of houses. A fascinating Revolutionary War era piece published in the December 1777 issue of the magazine.
