This map depicts the region between Mount Carmel and the Sea of Galilee, here labeled Galilaea Inferior. The area was apportioned to the Tribe of Zebulon, with the tribe's emblem appearing below the title. The map is filled with biblical illustrations and is adorned with a coat of arms and dedication to Rogero Vivion. Engraved by Robert Vaughan.

Thomas Fuller (1608-1661) was a respected English clergyman who wrote several books on the history and geography of the Holy Land. His A Pisgah-Sight of Palestine, published in 1650 and again in 1662, was a geographical description of the Holy Land with special reference to biblical history. The maps were derived from the cartography of Adrichom supplemented by his own wide reading. Fuller financed the book by dividing it into sections and finding sponsors for each one. To acknowledge the patrons, all maps contained decorative cartouches with the sponsor's coat of arms and a dedication to him.
