This map details the region between Brussels and Liege, extending to include the cities of Charleroi, Namur, Dinant, Verviers, Maastricht and Roermond. Large cities are depicted as miniature fortified bird's-eye plans, connected by early roads, and hundreds of tiny towns are identified. The map is embellished with a large title cartouche that features a vignette representing the coal mining industry in the region.
