A hand-colored engraved map of the territories of Brunswick and Magdeburg, titled "BRUNSWICK and MAGDEBURG with adjacent territories." The map illustrates the region's topography, featuring an intricate network of rivers (including the Weser and Elbe), dense forests, and numerous towns and villages. Various political territories are delineated with colored borders.
In the bottom-left corner, an ornate decorative cartouche contains the map's title. The cartouche is flanked by allegorical figures: on the left, a standing man in 17th-century attire next to a column; above, a seated woman playing a lute or harp accompanied by a cherub. At the bottom right, a scale bar provides measurements for "German miles" and "French miles." The map is framed by a coordinate border.
