This densely engraved map shows the region between the Dnieper and Dniester Rivers. Kiev (Kiiow) is located at the confluence of the Dnieper and Desna Rivers. The region to the east of the Dnieper is noted as "Ukrania Russa." The map is filled with tiny towns, political boundaries, and a lovely pastoral title cartouche.
