This map follows the Helm River from Nordhausen to Kelbra and Bruecken and details the region to the north of the river, including the towns of Stolberg, Hasselfelde and Harzgerode. Early roads, tiny towns, political boundaries, forests and mountains are graphically depicted. An extensive legend is included at top left, and an index to locate towns flanks the map. An elaborate title cartouche features Artemis, Pan, metal workers and a stag hunt.
