The earliest English plan of this period is one called _A plan of Boston and Charlestown from a drawing made in 1771_, which occupies the margin of a larger map, engraved for _The Town and Country Magazine_ in 1776, later to be mentioned. The _Catalogue of the King's Maps_ (British Museum) shows a colored plan of Boston and vicinity (1773) in the centre of a large sheet, with marginal views (later to be described). In 1774 a _Plan of the town of Boston_ made part of a _Chart of the Coast of New England_, which appeared in the _London Magazine_, April, 1774, and in _The American Atlas_, issued by Thomas Jefferys in London, in 1776. This map seems to be the model of a _New and accurate Plan of the town of Boston_, which is engraved in the corner of _A Map of the most inhabited part of New England, by Thomas Jefferys, Nov. 29, 1774_, usually also found in _The American Atlas_ (1776, nos. 15 and 16). This map is found with the date 1755, even after changes of a later date had been made in the plate.[610] The original map has also a marginal plan of Boston harbor (_Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc._, September, 1864). The earliest English map of 1775 is one which appeared in the _Gentleman's Magazine_ (January, 1775), though it is dated Feb. 1, 1775. It shows the town and harbor.[611] In the June number of the _Gentleman's Magazine_ is a "map of the country one hundred miles round Boston, in order to show the situation and march of the troops, as well provincial as regulars, which are now within sight of each other, and are hourly expected to engage." In June, 1775, was also made a not very accurate map of the town and its environs, which was published in London, Aug. 28, to satisfy the eagerness for a map of the region to which the news of the battle of Bunker Hill had turned all eyes. It is to be found in the first volume of _Almon's Remembrancer_, and is reproduced herewith. A few weeks after the fight at Charlestown there was probably made in Boston the MS. plan of _Boston and circumjacent Country_, showing the present situation of the king's troops and the rebel intrenchments. It is dated July 25, 1775, and is owned by Dr. Charles Deane.[612] The largest chart which we have of Boston harbor of this period is dated August 5, 1775, and was the work of Samuel Holland, the surveyor-general of the Northern colonies, who was for some years employed on a coast survey.[613] It takes in Nahant, Nantasket, and Cambridge, and was based principally on the surveys of George Callendar (1769).[614] When Des Barres included it in his _Atlantic Neptune_ (part iii., no. 6, 1780-1783), he marked in the besieging lines, and dated it Dec. 1, 1781, and in this state Des Barres also used it in his _Coast and Harbors of New England_.[615]
