This detailed map illustrates the historically important Revolutionary War engagement at Saratoga in October 1777, which ended in an important victory for the Americans. The map details the area around Saratoga and to the north along the Hudson River and locates Fishkill Creek, the ruins of Old Fort Hardy, the British Army headquarters, positions and entrenchments, artillery, and much more. The map was drawn by Isaac Chapman from an original sketch by an unnamed American officer. The map was engraved for the Analectic Magazine by G. Fairman and published by Moses Thomas of Philadelphia. A rarely offered battle plan from this seldom seen Philadelphia-based magazine.
