This handsome map depicts the historical region of Upper Saxony. This map stretches from Rostock on the coast of the Baltic to the historical Pomerelia region in northern Poland, down south to the Polish town of Sulechow near the Oder River. An inset, Supplement pour le Marquisat de Brandebourg ou se Trouve la Vieille Marche et le Quartier de Pregnitz, appears at bottom right and covers the Elbe where Lower Saxony and Brandenburg meet. The map is filled with details of political divisions, towns and cities, rivers, forest, and mountains.
