A detailed engraved map of the coast of New England, titled "NEW ENGLAND" original: "NOVA ANGLIA ofte NIEUW ENGELAND". The map shows the coastline from Cape Cod (south) to the Penobscot region (north). Inland features include "Lake Champlain" original: "Lacus Irocoisiensis" to the northwest, numerous mountain ranges, and forests.
A large sailing ship is depicted in the Atlantic Ocean, labeled "NORTH SEA" original: "MAR DEL NORT". A compass rose is positioned near the center of the coastline. In the lower right corner, a large stone pedestal serves as a title cartouche. Next to it, a scene depicts several European figures in 17th-century attire—some standing, one kneeling—interacting with a group of indigenous people near a tree.
The map is enclosed within a rectangular border marked with degrees of longitude (306 to 312). Below the title cartouche are two scale bars.
