This large map depicts the historical region of the Duchy of Pomerania along the Baltic Sea. This map stretches from Rugen to Gdansk along the Baltic and south to Berlin and Torun. The map is highly detailed with roads, towns, rivers, mountains, and forests. A note at top right gives a bit of history of the region, and a key at top left indicates that the regions marked in yellow belong to the Swedes, while the regions in green belong to the Prussians.
