The Požega County map is divided into two districts: Požega and Pakrac. Since the whole area is forested, the map is difficult to read. It shows a part of Slavonia, which was surrounded by regiments of the Military Frontier. Daruvar, Pakrac, Požega and Pleternica can be discerned among larger settlements. Relief is almost invisible, so Psunj can not be seen at all.
