This is the uncommon reduced version of Lotter's 3-sheet map of Russia, based on the comprehensive surveys of Johann Treskot and Johann Schmidt. Treskot and Schmidt published their groundbreaking 23-sheet survey of Russia in 1776 for the Imperial Academy of Sciences. The map captures the vast expanse of Russia, spanning from the Baltic Sea to Kamchatka. It names towns and cities and features good topographical detail. A table along the bottom identifies 26 political divisions. In the North Pacific, the Aleutian Islands are visible. A decorative title cartouche adorns the bottom left corner.
