Centered on the Danube River, the map covers the region from eastern Austria to the Black Sea. The road connecting Vienna and Raguse (Dubrovnik) to Constantinople is shown as this was a region contested between the Habsburg and Ottoman empires. This map was originally made in 1677 and this is the second state updated following the defeat of the Turks in 1683 in the Battle of Kahlenberg outside Vienna.
