This unusual map of the region around Nuremberg includes the cities of Closter, Seligenpfort, Schwabach, Cadolzburg, Grafenberg and Hersbruck. The map is presented in a bird's-eye fashion with the cities, hills, forests and lakes graphically depicted in a three-dimensional style. The title cartouche incorporates the coat of arms, and the map is surrounded by a frame-style border.
