The map is finely engraved to show abbeys and monasteries, castles, battlefields, mineral springs, forests, roads, cities, and towns. Relief is shown pictorially, and the map is oriented with north toward the upper right by a large compass rose. Lengthy historical and geographical notations are on either side of the magnificent cartouche.
