In this state, the map has undergone minor revisions, with shading added along the seacoasts and rivers, and around the harbours. The most northerly point on Hudson River is now 'Younker'. Outside the lower border is an extensive, and detailed, text in four columns, containing an official report of the campaign up to the victory in the Battle of Long Island.
