This handsome and uncommon map shows European Russia from the Gulf of Finland, extending south just shy of the Black and Caspian Seas. Moscow is at bottom center, with topography and cities noted pictorially. The route of "Petits Tartares en Moscovie" is shown, and only the western coastline of Novaya Zemlya is depicted.
