A striking map of the Cape of Good Hope showing an inventive inset of Table Bay at the lower left. The interior of the map is filled with elephants, a rhinoceros, lion, ostriches, snakes, and several other species. A road stretches from Table Bay to the interior. A dotted line between Table Bay and False Bay represents a proposed canal that was not undertaken, and a notation of Very Good Grounds refers to the land granted to the first free burgher on the Cape. The sea is filled with ships, and a compass rose orients north to the right of the map. The title is on a hide held by a group of natives while a lion stalks the foreground. The scale of miles cartouche is attended by a Dutchman and a young African with surveying equipment.
