This striking map covers the region from Helsingfors (Helsinki) south to Memel (Klaipeda), centering on the Gulf of Riga. It extends west to show Gotland and part of mainland Sweden, including Stockholm. The islands of Dagho (Hiiumaa) and Oesel (Saaremaa) are prominently shown. Throughout there is excellent detail of towns and cities, forests, and watershed. A decorative title cartouche at bottom left features a beehive, a merchant and horse, and fish. Two distance scales are at bottom right.
