This detailed regional map covers the Rhone-Alpes region. It is centered on Grenoble, with Lyon at the top left, and the Piedmont border at right. Fortified cities, small towns, monasteries, roads and canals fill the landscape along with topographical depictions of hills, mountains and forests. The title cartouche is displayed on a banner held by Diana, the goddess of hunting, and putti. The key and scale of miles cartouche feature the coat of arms and putti gathering the agricultural riches of the region.
