This matched pair of maps divides western Russia into provinces and is based on Delisle's cartography. The maps are filled with countless place names, rivers, roads, swamps, and forests. The northern map focuses on the region south of the White Sea and includes St. Petersburg, Arkhangelsk, and Vologda. It features a decorative title cartouche containing images of wildlife, hunters, and a sleigh. This map of southern Russia and eastern Ukraine shows Moscow as a fortified city just north of center.
