The map includes a detailed representation of the southwestern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, including the cities and coasts of Portugal and southern Spain. It likely includes navigational details such as depth soundings and anchorage points.
Includes Lisbon, Cadiz ("Cadix"), Gibraltar, and Cueta.
The map is a testament to the Dutch expertise in cartography during this period, characterized by precise measurements and an aesthetic blend of utility and artistry.
