It covers present-day southwestern Germany and northeastern France, flanking the Rhine River. The map is surrounded by bird's-eye views of several important cities in the region including Philippsbourg, Heidelburg, and Worms along with fortified plans of Mannheim and Frankenthal. A note below the map describes how Louis, Grand Dauphin, took this region for France during the War of the Grand Alliance. The full sheet with illustrations measures 20.6 x 15.8".
