PRUSSIA ACCURATELY DESCRIBED by Caspar Henneberg of Erlich.

A hand-colored engraved map of Prussia (PRVSSIA), oriented with North at the top.

The land is filled with detailed topographical features, including forests, rivers, and hundreds of individually named settlements. The map includes a legend for symbols, a key for river mouths, and a scale bar at the bottom right. The border contains degree markings and cardinal direction labels: North (Septentrio), South (Meridies), and East (Oriens).
