Esnauts and Rapilly's map is widely regarded as one of the most important of all Battle Plans of the American Revolution and one of the very few to be drawn from a French eyewitness perspective. Their fine depiction of the Battle of Yorktown is one of the most significant cartographic sources for the naval engagements connected with the Siege of Yorktown, the decisive battle of the American Revolution.
