This map centers on the Rhine River and Strasbourg, with the great city shown as a bird's-eye plan with all its fortifications. There is great detail of the surrounding region, including tiny towns, fortified cities, roads, mountains, and forested areas. A small legend fills the upper right corner of the map, and an allegorical cartouche appears at bottom right, with the royal French arms and symbols of military strength.
