This is Thomas Jefferys' two-sheet map based on the surveys of Major Samuel Holland and Governor Thomas Pownall, published by Sayer & Bennett. Holland originally conducted the surveys to settle a boundary dispute between New York and New Jersey and later as Surveyor for the Northern District for the Board of Trade. These surveys provided the British with essential information for the conduct of the military campaigns in the Revolutionary War.
