The central map details the region as far south as present day Erie, Pa and as far north as Quebec City, Canada and features Niagara Falls, Fort Niagara, Albany and Schenectady, NY, as well as Montreal, ST. Peters, Three Rivieres, Quebec and Orleans, Canada.

The upper vignette, which is the detailed street map of Montreal, features landmarks of the city, lettered, and a key for identification. This map identifies the Seminary, the Governor's Palace, the Nunnery Hospital, the fort and parapet, the gates of the city and much more.

Along with the fold-out map is a detailed, multi-page account of the Fall of Montreal on September 8, 1760 after a two-month expedition & campaign.
