T. W. Field in his monograph, the _Battle of Long Island_, gives a large plan showing the relations of the modern streets to the old landmarks, and marking "the natural defensible line, as nearly as it could be authenticated by documentary and traditionary evidence." Field adds that "the routes of the British were generally over country roads long since abandoned, and now covered with buildings; but their localities were accurately surveyed by the author before their traces were lost." Field also says (p. 145) that the American works were at once levelled by the British, and new ones were erected on interior lines. (Cf. G. W. Greene's _General Greene_, i. 159.) These latter lines are shown, as well as the earlier American works, in a _Map of Brooklyn at the time of the Revolution_, drawn by Gen. Jeremiah Johnson (Valentine's _Manual_, 1858). A rude map by J. Ewing, made Sept., 1776, is given in fac-simile in Johnston's _Campaign of 1776_ (Documents, p. 50) and in 2d ser. _Penna. Archives_, x. 194. Dr. Stiles made a rough plan in his diary, which he based upon a map of the ground and upon the information given him by one who was at Red Hook at the time. It is given in fac-simile by Johnston (p. 70). The plan in Carrington's _Battles_ (p. 214) is extended enough to illustrate the movements after the British occupation of New York; that in H. R. Stiles's _Brooklyn_ (vol. i. 250) is an eclectic one, made with care, and his text attempts to identify the position of the lines and forts in relation to present landmarks. Gordon acknowledges receiving from Greene a map improved by that general (_Hist. Mag._, xiii. 25). There are other plans in Marshall's _Washington_ (large and small atlas); Sparks's _Washington_, iv. 68, repeated in Duer's _Stirling_ (p. 162); Guizot's _Washington_; Samuel Ward's lecture on the battle, 1839; J. T. Bailey's _Hist. Sketch of Brooklyn_ (Brooklyn, 1840); W. L. Stone's _New York City_, p. 246; Henry Onderdonk, Jr.'s _Queens County_, and _Suffolk and Kings Counties_; Ridpath's _United States_; Lossing's _Field-Book_, ii. 806, 809, 810; Lowell's _Hessians_; _Harper's Monthly_, Aug., 1876. Ratzer's map of Brooklyn is reproduced in Stiles's _Brooklyn_ (i. 63), with a view of the same date (p. 217). Cf. map in Valentine's _N. Y. Manual_ (1856). Cf. the bibliography of Long Island in _Amer. Bibliopolist_, Oct., 1872, and in Furman's _Antiquities of Long Island_, App.]
