A sketch map of the vicinity of Baltimore during the War of 1812 showing British movements after the burning of Washington in August, 1814. The map shows the Patapsco River and Chesapeake Bay, the British fleet position in the bay, the landing site of North Point and the site of the Battle of North Point five miles to the north, and the American Fort McHenry (defense of this fort inspired Francis Scott Key to write the 'Star-Spangled Banner’).
