It shows the city's fortifications, including its moat and bastions, and the surrounding countryside. The map was likely intended for military purposes and offers insights into the city's strategic importance during this era. The map is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and provides a valuable historical record of 17th-century urban planning and military architecture.
