According to this website http://www.realmaplesyrup.com/how.html

The amount of sap you need can vary hovers the average amount of sap needed to make just one gallon of maple syrup is 35 - 50 gallons of sap depending on how much maple sugar there is in the sap.

43 gallons!

43 gallons of sap are required to produce one gallon of syrup, as 42 gallons of water must be evaporated.

It will normally require somewhere between 28 and 56 hours of continuous boiling (and sap refilling) if a pan with one square foot of liquid surface is used. By comparison, a gallon of syrup can be produced in between 9 and 18 hours using a rectangular 24" x 18" pan (3 square feet of liquid surface). Obviously, the larger the pan, the more quickly the evaporation process will be completed.
