This detailed road map shows the estuary of the River Maas and extends from 's-Gravenhage to Gouda in the north and from Ouddorp to Steenbergen in the south. Cities, such as Rotterdam, Delft, and Brielle are depicted with miniature bird's-eye plans. A compass rose orients north to the top right, and the map is further adorned with sailing ships, some engaged in battle, and a drape-style title cartouche held aloft by putti.
