This densely engraved map depicts the mountainous region surrounding Lyon, extending to include the cities of Grenoble and St. Claude. Larger cities are shown as fortified plans, and hundreds of tiny towns are identified, with early roads and graphic mountains filling the map. The map was prepared by Jaillot and reissued by Dezauche.
