Detailed map of the region in the southwestern part of the Czech Republic. The map is graphically engraved to illustrate the topography, forests, roads and the fortified cities and villages, including Ceske Budejovice and Jihlava. At bottom is a superb pictorial cartouche featuring a river goddess and Pan playing the lute while four satyrs dance. The map is based on the work of Johann Christoph Muller.
