This decorative map depicts Utrecht and parts of Friesland and Brabant with their coasts. The details include canals, roads, polders, marshes, and villages with major cities depicted as miniature bird's-eye plans. The West Frisian Islands are shown in an inset. Compass roses orient north to the right and a variety of sailing vessels fill the seas. A host of mermen pull a sea chariot with the Dutch coat of arms and a pair of surveyors decorate the scale cartouche at bottom. This is De Wit's version of Visscher's very similar map. This is the third state of De Wit's map with a town plan added inside the Amsterdam city walls, published between 1671-76.
