The map shows a greatly enlarged area of Dalmatia that covers the coast from Senj to Pastrović. It almost reaches Sarajevo in the north and Podgorica in the east. Besides the coat of arms and cartouche, there is a very beautiful view of the Bakar Gulf from the semi-perspective in the left lower corner, with the city of Bakar and mountains in the background. The expert use of colour contributes to the impression.
