This is a very short article, and I want to explain why. The other major actions at Ticonderoga (1758, 1775, 1777) all have enough info to need their own articles. Once I'm satisfied with those three, I'll remove individual battle descriptions from the Fort Ticonderoga Artcle. Leaving this one as a stand alone article just seems to balance or complete the set.

Documentation concerning the creation of the map ( File:Ticonderoga attack plan2.jpg).
The map is signed May 29, 1759, by William Brasier, a draftsman in the British Army. Brasier reported to Lt. Thomas Sowers, who reported to Colonel James Montresor, Amherst's chief engineer. Field research was performed by Dietrick/Diedrich/Diederich Brehm/Breem/Brheem/Bhreem, a lieutenant in the 1st battalion 60th foot under Captain George Etherington, who reported to Colonel Frederick Haldimand, in command at Fort Edward. (For chain of command, see the regimental chronicle of the 60th foot.)

Timeline:
Brehm discusses defenses with Rogers (includes author's commentary comparing it to Matthew Clerk's analysis in 1758): [1]
Synthesized narrative:
Frederick Haldimand, commander at Fort Edward, proposed a scouting expedition toward Carillon for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering. Gage approved the request, ordering Rogers to head the scout, and adding the suggestion that engineer Brehm accompany the scout to examine the enemy works. Gage and Haldimand issue orders to Brehm and Rogers, who left Fort Edward on March 3 in a party of 358. By the evening of March 5 they reached landing at the northern end of Lake George. Rogers, Brehm, and a supporting party climbed to a place (probably Mount Defiance) with a view of Carillon that evening, and discussed what they saw. Brehm made detailed drawings of the area. Later that evening Brehm and a party of 10 entered the outer entrenchments to inspect them more closely. On completion of this work, a party of about 100 went around to the east shore of Champlain where they surprised a French work crew, taking prisoners and killing much of the crew. Pursued by a party from the fort, they quickly retreated, reaching Sabbathday Point (50 miles of hiking through sometimes deep snow) later that day. By March 8 they had returned to Fort Edward.
Brehm delivered his report to Gage in Albany, who forwarded them to Amherst in NYC. Amherst discussed the plan with Montresor on April 3, when they agreed, with modest changes, to Brehm's plan. After Amherst approved the final plan on May 13, Montresor ordered copies made. The copy which is the source of this image was made by William Brasier at Albany, and completed May 29, in time for the army command's departure for Fort Edward in early June.
