"The maps that the British high command regarded as providing essential topographical information in the most convenient form were collated in The American Military Pocket Atlas published by the firm of Robert Sayer and John Bennett in 1776. The book, known as the Holster Atlas because during the war it was carried by British officers in their holsters, included six large folding maps"--Schwartz & Ehrenberg, page 190.
