The map is filled with cities depicted as miniature bird's-eye plans, tiny towns, roads, topography, and political boundaries. A finely engraved figural cartouche features the agriculture of the area, a coat of arms, and incorporates the scale of miles and key. This is the fourth state, with the addition of the imprint of Covens & Mortier in the title cartouche.
