Downs Farm · Cherry Hill · New Jersey

Four maps of the ground you live on.

Drawn from the county parcel database, USGS elevation surveys and New Jersey’s road inventory. Not a stock map anywhere — every line comes from the public record.

The four maps

The Poets’ Quarter

$59

Ten streets here carry a writer’s name, so each is drawn in that writer’s own verse. Kipling Road in Kipling, Keats Place in Keats.

The Parcel Quilt

$59

All 2,967 recorded lots, coloured in like a quilt. Horace Mann and the swim club appear as their real parcels.

Personalise: your exact lot in crimson, named

Cherry Hill, in relief

$59

About 180 feet between the Cooper River and the high ground past Springdale. Ten-foot contours, every stream, eleven neighbourhoods named.

★ Personalise: a gold star on your property

Every street in town

$59

All 1,186 streets on one white sheet, Aaron Court to Yorkshire Road. Three hundred and ninety-two miles of road.

Put your own house on it.

Give me your address and I’ll mark your home on the map — pulled from the county deed record, not guessed at, with your family name set beneath it. Two of the four are built to carry it.

Personalisation is $30 per map on the Parcel Quilt and the relief map, on its own or as part of a pair. The Poets’ Quarter and the street map are sold as drawn.

No obligation

See your house on the map before you buy.

Send your address and I’ll email back a picture of your own lot marked on the plate. It takes a few minutes and costs nothing.

At full size

Close enough to read.

Close-up of the verse showing legible lines in each poet's colour — Whitman, Keats and Kipling — each street set in its own poet’s words.

Where these come from

Drawn from the public record.

This began with a question that turned out to be hard to answer: how many streets are there in Cherry Hill? It is not a number anyone publishes. The answer came from the state’s own road inventory, counted one by one. There are 1,186.

The same records hold every property line in the township and the elevation of every foot of ground. All of it public, and none of it drawn as anything you would want on a wall.

Elsewhere

Which town should I draw next?

Downs Farm is the first. If you have a shore house, or someone you’d like to give a map of their own town, tell me where. Towns get drawn in the order people ask for them, and every one gets a Parcel Quilt that can be personalised the same way.
