The Isthmus of Panama and northwestern South America is the focus of this decorative map. Most of present-day Colombia and part of Venezuela are included. The map is based on the cartography of Hessel Gerritsz and formed one of the prototypes for South American cartography throughout the rest of the century. The mountainous topography and numerous settlements and towns are noted. Valck & Schenk's imprint is located between the title and scale cartouches.
