The register is divided into columns, each representing a different letter of the alphabet, making it easy to find the location you are looking for. The piece is a testament to the meticulous cartography of the time and showcases the importance of accuracy in the representation of geographical information. This artwork is a fascinating glimpse into the past, illuminating the detailed knowledge of the landscape and the specific locations that were important to people in the 17th century.
