Bussemacher's map of Slavonia and Croatia was published in the atlas of Matthias Quad "Europae totius orbis terrarum" in 1592. It shows the territories of Slavonia, Croatia and partly Bosnia and Dalmatia roughly within their medieval borders i.e. before the invasion of Turks. The topography is shown with shaded molehills. In the upper right corner is a great oval portrait of Rudolph II. The title is across the upper central part of the map within a simple box. A mileage key is next the right margin of the map. The key is in common German miles (Milliaria Germanica communia).
