The text at the bottom of the map reads:

This Forte is erected on a Plain, that is Westward, and South West of it; from 250 to 370 Yards; ye rising Ground at (A) is the most convenient for an Enemy to attack it from; but this Distance is more than the last mentioned from the Works. The Ground that the Camp stands on is not so high as that of the Garrison except at (B. & C.) which is rather too far to do any great Mischief; besides a wide Swamp between those Places. The Lake Side, and this of ye Camp are pretty securd from any great Danger, & the Enemy will not find if an easy Matter to get Posession of this Ground at (A) to ye North West of it, they being oblidged to approach this Eminence from the Northward by the Lake, on Account of the Mountain; not to cross the Swamp to ye S.W. Side, without partly ye same Inconveniecy. (viz.) being exposed to ye Cannon from ye Fort___

This Ground here described is bounded to the N.W. and S.E. Sides by high Mountains, and the Valley between is about 2000 Yards broad. The Encampment a (D) has a Breastwork raised with Trees, & Earth. (E.E.) The Columns or regular French Troopa, and Canadians who attack'd this Camp ye 8th September.1755 _ F.F. The Routs the Indians took to fall upon the Flanks during the Endgagement. __ This Forte is large enough to contain a Garrison of 400, or 500. Men, with convenient Barracks, Two Magazines for Powder (bomb proof.) with a large Hospital of ye same Strength, & Casements for 200 Men, besides Storehouses for 2500 Barrels of Provissions. _____
