This detailed and uncommon battle plan shows the placement of British and American forces during the Battle of Saratoga in September and October of 1777. The two battles were fought nineteen days apart, and the interesting overlay at top right shows the before/after positions of the first battle. The map is from John Bourgoine's A State of the Expedition from Canada..., published in London. Faden's maps of the American Revolution are particularly well presented because he based them on manuscript maps supplied to him from the war zone.
