The shape of the map is very irregular. In the east it borders with the Military Frontier, i.e. the Križevci Regiment, which was still administratively under military rule. In the west it borders with Zagreb County and Varaždin County, and in the south with Požega County. Larger settlements are Ludbreg, Koprivnica, Kašina and Križevci. The road network is represented very well, and the relief is shown by hatching. The areas covered by the forest are also represented. It is interesting that the map is dedicated to the Zagreb bishop Maksimilijan Vrhovac, who, among other things, is responsible for the construction of Maksimir Park.
