Finely engraved and detailed map covering all of the region from the Baltic Sea across Siberia and south into China including Korea, Japan and Formosa. The eastern coastline is taking shape with the formation of the Kamchatka peninsula. The Terra Eso is still a bit misshapen and the region formerly labeled Companies Land is named Terra Societatis Batavicae.
