A detailed map of the area of Zadar from Senj to Rogoznica was published in the large two-volume "Atlas von Europa, nebst den Kolonien, fur Geschaftmanner, Zeitungsleser ...", intended for "business people and newspaper readers". Probably because of its purpose, it does not deal with relief, but contains many toponyms and carefully drawn boundaries of the Croatian Military Border and the Ottoman Empire.
