Based on Blaeu's map of the province of Friesland, this map shows the fortified cities, lakes, rivers, roads, and many small settlements. The Frisian islands of Ameland, Terschelling and Vlieland form the separation of the Waddenzee and the North Sea, and are also depicted in a small inset at top right. Three lavishly decorated cartouches feature both maritime and agricultural symbols, including merpeople and livestock.
