To His Excellency Genl. Washington, Commander in Chief of the armies of the United States of America. : this plan of the investment of York and Gloucester has been surveyed and laid down, and is most humbly dedicated by His Excellency's obedient servant,

General Washington asked Major Sebastian Bauman, an American artillery officer and military engineer, to survey the terrain and battle positions at Yorktown, three days after the British surrendered there. It was the first large-scale battle map printed in the United States, sold by subscription only with relatively few sheets printed. New-York Historical holds two copies, one of which is believed to be Bauman's personal copy.
