Great detail throughout shows mountains, watershed, roads, villages, towns and several fortified towns including Milan, Strasburg, Nurnberg, Prague, and Vienna. The large and very decorative allegorical cartouche is adorned with cherubs, figures, and eight coats of arms. At lower right is a second cartouche with legend and distance scales.
