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.
