This is the eastern sheet of a three-sheet map following the course of the Danube River from its source in Donaueschingen, Germany to the Black Sea. This portion of the map extends from Belgrade, Serbia to the Black Sea (and continuing in outline to Istanbul and the Sea of Marmara). Remarkable detail includes tributaries, cities, roads, political boundaries, mountains, forests, and more. A key and four distance scales are located along the bottom border. While the map is part of a set, it is complete with its own borders and title.
