The map shows the administrative division of the Croatian Military Border, whose territorial divisions and administrative units changed names and organization permanently during the 17th and 18th centuries, so different names were used on the map, such as regiments, counties, districts, etc. The whole "civilian" Croatia is squeezed into space between Zagreb and Varaždin, and the rest, without Slavonia, Dalmatia, Primorje and Istria, is depicted as the Military Border.
