This map is centered approximately on Cieszyn, Poland and extends as far north as Racibórz and Bieruń. The Olza, Odra and Vistula Rivers are prominently depicted, and the mountainous topography is rendered as three-dimensional. A panoramic view of Cieszyn is at bottom left. The map is adorned with three strapwork cartouches, with merchants negotiating for wares adjacent to the title cartouche.
