A detailed hand-engraved black and white map of the county of Herefordshire, England, titled "Herefordia Comitatus". The map is oriented with West at the bottom and East at the top, indicated by the labels "Occidens" and "Oriens" on the decorative frame. The county boundaries are clearly delineated with a dark, shaded line. Neighboring regions are labeled: "RADNOR" and "BRECNOK" to the west (bottom), "Monmouth" and "Gloceʃtriae Pars" to the south (right), and "VIGORNIÆ PARS" to the east (top).
Numerous towns and villages are identified by small architectural icons (churches or groups of buildings) and text labels. Rivers are shown winding through the landscape. A rectangular title box appears in the upper left corner. In the bottom right corner, a distance scale is provided, labeled "Scala Miliarium" with markers for 5 and 10 miles. The map features characteristic 17th-century typography, including the use of the long "s" (ʃ).
