The map shows the districts of the towns of Maribor and Celje within the duchy of Styria. The delimitation between the two districts is indicated with dotted line. The star-like circles (schematized representation of a fortress) indicate major settlements, and smallest ones by a symbol of a church (a circle with a cross). The network of rivers is shown with great detail, as well as all major settlements. The post route Maribor-Celje with all its stations is presented very attentively. Just like on all the other Reilly's maps, the topography is shown in a very inadequate way. Forests are represented by a tree-symbol. The title of the map is in the upper left corner inscribed in a stone monument. A mileage scale is in German miles (Deutsche M.) and in common Styrian miles (Steyrische gemeine Strassen M.). This map is published in Reilly's atlas "Schauplatz der Welt Atlas" 1789-1791.
