This four-sheet map depicts the Hunsrueck region between Trier on the Moselle River and Mainz on the Rhine River. The map was created to illustrate the Battle of Clausen on October 20, 1735, part of the War of the Polish Succession. The map depicts the troop movements of General Seckendorf, commander of the imperial army, with numerous notes describing the battle. Size of sheets varies, and the map would measure 69 x 12.7" if joined.
