This is a very uncommon map of the region. It illustrates the divisions among the twelve Tribes of Israel and covers the coastline from above Sidon to the Desert Land of Edom, south of Gaza. A large inset shows the wanderings of the Children of Israel. The cities of the Levites and the cities of refuge are located, and the divisions of the tribes according to the distribution made by Joshua are also noted.
