This two-sheet map extends from the Zuiderzee in the north to Breda in the south, and as far east as Wageningen. The map is highly detailed with large cities depicted as miniature fortified plans (including Amsterdam, Utrecht and Rotterdam), and the intricate systems of roads, rivers and canals. The large title cartouche fills the Zuiderzee, and a secondary title cartouche on the southern sheet features military symbols. The map is dedicated to Benedetto Gori of Florence, Italy. Printed on two sheets, joined.
