Large map of Switzerland detailing the land from Lake Geneva to Lake Constance. The map shows the various cantons and has excellent pictorial representation of the topography. At the top of the map is a row of armorial shields for the cantons noting whether they were Catholic, Protestant or a mixture of both. The lower left corner contains a key to the location of towns of varying sizes, rivers and roads that are easy to difficult to cross, and the location of public baths.
