This detailed map depicts the region bounded by the Lago di Garda and the Gulf of Venice in the south, to western Austria in the north. Larger cities, such as Trento, Vicenza, Bolzano and Innsbruck are depicted as miniature bird's-eye plans, and hundreds of tiny towns are also identified. The roads, rivers, forests, and mountains in the region are also illustrated. Distance scales and a small legend flank the title at top.
