This uncommon small map is centered on Finland, with Sweden and much of Norway to the west, and Frontieres de Moscovie to the east. It provides detailed information on the lakes, rivers, coastlines and settlements. A table in the upper right corner lists the kings of Sweden. The ornate title cartouche is designed in a military theme.

A nice impression with contemporary outline color in the map and later color in the cartouche on a sheet with very light toning and foxing.
