DescriptionManuscript map of Fort Ticonderoga, with Lake George at the top of the map and Lake Champlain at the bottom. The north arrow points toward the top right corner. The fort's buildings and the structures and places around it are indicated with symbols, and many of them are labeled: the burial ground, a hotel, the hospital, store houses, and wells. Waterfalls and bridges along the lakes and waterways are marked, too. Unattributed quotations appear in various places that describe military actions taken by the troops on both sides.
On the verso, there is a pencil sketch of a fort.
