This small map is finely engraved to show political boundaries, rivers, mountains, and key cities. Moscow is at upper center. The map extends to the Volga River in the east and south to show Georgia and parts of the Black and Caspian seas. It is decorated with a rococo-style title cartouche. The map was engraved by E. Dussy and the cartouche by Arrivet. This is the first state.
