The map is centred on Slovenia, after the Vienna Peace from 1814-1815, which from the part of the Napoleonic Illyrian Provinces Austria has administratively organized the Kingdom of Illyria from 1816 to 1849. According to the first structure, Kranjska and Carinthia were divided into five districts, to which two further were added, of which the Trieste district (VII) occupies the entire western part of Istria. The Croatian border towards Bosnia passes through the rivers Una and Korana and at Dubica it connects with Sava River. Considering that in Croatia, which is not a subject of the map, there are not many toponyms, the relief is more emphasized, which is shown by shading, especially Velebit.
