This map is centered approximately on Torgau along the Elbe River in northwestern Saxony. A detailed legend identifies dozens of symbols on the map that indicate different types of locales that can be found in the region, such as towns with churches, nobelmen's estates, inns, various types of mills, vineyards, and more. Roads and political boundaries are also shown. An index to locations on the map is listed at the sides. The map is adorned with a compass rose and three rococo cartouches that feature grapevines, putti and religious symbols.
