This map is bounded by the Rhine, Main, and Lahn Rivers and features the fortified cities of Koblenz, Giessen, Frankfurt am Main, and Mainz. The map is filled with detail of early roads, political boundaries, cities of various sizes, and forests. At bottom right are views of the city of Bad Schwalbach and its famous mineral springs. The lovely title cartouche includes Bacchus and putti filling a hole with cups of water.
